I don't think kids should have homework at all. They spend 8 hours a day in school as it is, why should they spend their nights doing homework? I don't know too many people who bring work home every fucking day, why should kids have to?
They should also get kids into apprenticeships where they can actually learn how to do something. 90% of the shit they teach is utterly useless - What good is memorizing Shakespeare when you can't balance a checkbook? They need to learn real life skills that will prepare them for something more than winning trivia contests or flipping burgers.
