As a parent, I'm hoping this will reduce the at-home workloads and shift more work towards school. What's the real life value of having students go to school and then spend all-nighters trying to do homework and all the expected extra-curricular?

As I remember my education time from high-school onwards, all-nighters were usually a consequence of slacking off during school time.

In college/university a fairly big part of the education was learning what was compulsory reading and what was optional. There was always more reading than hours in the day.
