You're conflating "selfwork" and homework. Doing the work yourself is indeed critical. It's the bit where you take it home when you're exhausted that is perplexing. Why can't we provide the time and space to do the self work at school?

It sounds extremely limiting to have reading and writing confined to sitting at a desk for a certain hour everyday in crowded room.
It really doesn't. What youre indirectly describing is the typical workday of most people.

It's not career limiting to keep your work during.. work. and it isn't education limiting to keep the schoolwork at school.

Children are not workers, school is not a workday. And essay writing is not something that should be confided to such a stressful and limiting environment.
