Why should kids have to do homework? Why can't most things be taught in the classroom?
Ask me to read a book on a subject and odds are I can then regurgitate that info on a test 3 days later, but 6 months from now it will be gone. Get me to do a science experiment or a participation event on the same thing and I'll remember a lot more of it for longer.
It all comes down to better and or different methods of teaching. Not every student learns the same way.
