The replacement is students maturing into functional adults who learn they must study to pass exams, not to treat them like babies.


> The replacement is students maturing into functional adults

By what means? Have you got a magic wand that will turn 3rd graders into mature functional adults who will study on their own without homework?


I’m talking about university students. I don’t think I third graders are turning into functional adults any time soon.


Okay, but this article isn't about that:

> The study followed 27,000 pupils aged 12 to 18


The same applies to high school students. Just make it exam based and give suggested reasons.

(Third grade is 9-10 years old I believe.)


Too many of them don't really care. Otherwise they'd be doing the homework for real before they cheat it.
