I agree that #homework should remain as practice is key to learning, but on top of avoiding a competition of resources, it should also avoid rigidity so to not train students into blindly giving responses that they perceive as "desirable" for the teacher (and the #education system in general). The goal for students is to learn, not to push out their peers, although I guess it can't be helped if everything in life is about fighting for limited resources...

...which is the case. I suppose it's natural that we are self-centered, but that's not how it works: #cooperation is what a society is built upon, and life is dominated by processes, not results. Is the #education system really preparing kids for adulthood if it simply follows human instinct?

And look at the current shortage of #leaders. If every person is for themselves, who even wants to be a #leader?
