I think children are better off making a few mistakes but finding their way to solving a problem, rather then doing 20 homework questions to beat down the process into their brain.
Disagree. Smart people can be creative and find solutions to problems but some people can't. Since school targets the majority, homework and repetition, especially at younger ages, should probably be endorsed (within reason).

As for no exams or getting in the way of scheduling, that's ludicrous.
