Of course these days I hear about schools not even giving god damn homework!

Probably for the best. Homework does little to help learning. The old "learn through repetition" method doesn't actually teach you anything but how to do what is in the worksheet. The actual way to learn something is by understanding the concepts, the rest is just applying the concepts, which can be done more abstractly so as not to dig someone into a hole of only knowing how to do what they are shown instead of actually learning. I know someone will try to retort with application vs. concepts, but the reality is if you really understand the concepts, application is fairly easy and any pitfalls you encounter are simple to overcome due to a proper understanding of the concepts.

Basically, unless they are working on a sport or some other menial physical task, repetition doesn't actually teach you anything.

Honestly they need to start teaching logic early on so kids can actually reason things out. I am dumbfounded as to why this is never hit until you get to college as it would make life so much easier (would also make people in general so much easier to deal with, imagine if everyone had a basic understanding of logical axioms).

I disagree. If you never practice what you hear in the classroom, you quickly forget it or never fully retain it.
