Anyone here that work as a teacher for kids 6-10 years old?

I have a genuine question about the purpose of homework - why do they even exist?

@selea I was a teacher for a while, for a bit older kids but I think the pros and cons are largely the same. I think the main advantage of homework is that it can get the parents involved. But that also means inequality, because the kids learning becomes dependent on who their parents are. If we want schools to give all kids equal opportunities, then better skip the homework for those young ages.
