I think homework is important for review of the basics. As much as I hate to admit it, all the spelling, grammar, and basic arithmetic worksheets I did when I was younger have helped a lot.

I say there should be more homework for younger kids and limited homework for teens. Little kids have the energy for it. Let them use it productively. Whereas teens need more sleep and rest to function properly. The system we have set up already doesn't make much sense, and banning homework for young kids will just make it harder for them when they're older.

Reinforce the basics when the kid is young, and it will stick with them longer. It'll make higher thinking easier for them, because they won't still be stuck on the stuff they should have been learning when they were younger.
