My elementary school in Switzerland actually did ban homework in the 90s as part of an experiment. I can't speak about my schoolmates, but personally I wasn't too happy as a child. As soon as I hit high school we were bombarded with homework and I always felt that I would have preferred to be prepared for that.
At the same time we spent fewer and fewer hours in the classroom as school on Saturday was cut and more special off days were introduced. I think teachers working for these changes meant well but I'm not at all convinced it did any good.
