How come everyone else's schools started so late and ended so early? Mine was 8 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. everyday from when I was 6 until I was 16. And that was two different schools.

Meh I say ban homework utterly. It never benefitted me at all, at any stage. The only type of homework that should be set is coursework and projects, and even those are pointless at anything below A level due to the high levels of cheating and plagiarism.
