I think it's a frustrating experience overall and we should be looking at giving students the entire curriculum from elementary to masters degree upfront and letting them work up from it at their rythm.
As incentive students should be provided X years of access to teachers free of charge, and if you finish early pocket the difference. If you finish late you have to pay the difference.

After reading some of the school- and homework-critic posts here and thinking I‘d agree with them I realize that school helps the overall population, especially less educated people who simply wouldn‘t invest more their time and energy in education otherwise while the highly curious and intelligent people are rather limited by it.
