Other countries don't put as much emphasis on hw and seem to do just fine. In some of them hw isn't even graded, it's for you to practice. My high school for example gave out a book with the problem solutions. For some of them, it was only the final result, for some of them it was the whole process. Hw didn't affect your grade at all and it was up to you to decide if you want to do the hw or not.

The amount of hw students get in the us is astounding. It's not always productive either (more often that not it's not). And it seems like there's no pushback against it.
