When I see this argument, it is always coming from rich parents.  The underlying belief is that their kid doesn’t need homework because their kid will be set up for life regardless.

But this is not the situation for the vast majority.  [/quote]
I am not rich by any means I just think there's more to life than constantly working.[/quote]

I don’t like rat race myself, but I find it’s not from homework. It’s from this compulsion to do everything else on top of it— sports, volunteer, extracurriculars, clubs, music and so on.

People abroad do way more homework than American students, but they have lots of free time to spend time with friends because they don’t do all the other crap![/quote]

Depends on what country. Also some countries value efficiency and effectiveness, and others don’t. I prefer having kids who learn to be efficient and effective, because they can get the same done in their life in less time than someone who’s not.[/quote]
