I cannot agree more.
My school was quite forward thinking. E.g. they taugh us recursion using Logo in year 3 of primary school. This was early 90s.
But still, our homework was completely useless and incredibly time consuming. I vividly remember it was calibrated to make us spend 2.5 hours on it per day, and this was after a 9-5 sequence of lectures. Completely insane and alienating.
