Why don't schools simulate a typical 9 to 5 work week for students and remove homework entirely?

I don't agree necessarily with arbitrary maturity lines like drinking at 18/21, but suggesting people might be thought of as adults at 14 is madness. Most kids aren't finished going through puberty at that age and it's different for everyone (by like 5-6 years potentially). I think 18 is the "arbitrary" age for most things because 99% of kids have finished puberty at that age and we aren't in a rush to get those 14-18 year old working in factories.

The whole "capitalism delayed adulthood to 18" arguement doesn't make sense to me considering very capitalist mills and sweatshops have historically used child labour throughout history.

Also, very important point most people ignore, the human brain doesn't finish developing until around 25.

I was going to say because it would be fucking weird if we just had one big nose hole. Now I'm thinking about it, our nostrils are already pretty weird.

I'm now looking in the mirror at my nostrils and pumping them to the beat of a song.
