The major benefit of homework in my view is teaching the kids self discipline.
The sooner in life kids learn that there are things in life that you may not like to do but can do the better.

You might as well homeschool. It only takes about three hours per day.
My daughter works part-time at a supermarket. A customer found out that she’s been homeschooled.
“That’s great! I’m sick of the schools. My kids don’t learn anything. I have to spend 2-3 hours a night teaching them. How do your parents do it?!”
“I do it pretty much on my own.”
“That’s amazing!”
It really isn’t. Just ask a homeschooling family.
We can’t imagine anything different.
Eh. There is plenty of time in life for people do to things that they don’t want to do. The nice thing about being young is that you don’t have responsibilities and you can do the things you want to do.
