I agree with what Emily said about if we take the homework away when they are young they will be totally overwhelmed by it when they get older. As for only learning enough to pass tests, yeah it happens but I say who cares. Here's the thing people start doing that around high school when they have to take classes they don't care about and will never use again, so for those who feel that way they pass the class to graduate and then forget everything because they never need to use it again. But those students who are interested in the class and plan to have careers in it they are the ones who care enough to learn and as long as they do, who cares what the other students do as long as they pass.

Oh and as for big fights about homework, no offense to anyone but it the fights are that big about homework there is much more wrong in that household than the kid's homework.
