maybe the fact that people a decade or more out of school still have stress dreams about failing exams or not turning schoolwork in could be taken as a sign the means used to impose standardisation and discipline in schools are fucked up, huh
homework does help people learn better, but the ways it is commonly deployed probably does far more harm. exams, meanwhile, serve no purpose whatsoever and probably actively hamper learning most of the time by rewarding strategies that don't promote long-term learning
