In my experience the vast majority of homework set was "busy work", as the teachers felt that they ought to be setting homework but didn't see any way for it to be useful: they were setting homework purely for the sake of setting homework. Some homework is probably useful, but schools would be doing everyone a favour by discouraging the "must set homework" mindset, as it's totally non-productive and a colossal waste of time.
