It has become harder to find space to do hard work in today's schools. No doubt children do a lot of home work and re-writing notes etc.
Strangely, we get exhausted by the end of the day but we don't really do hard work. I think the difference is mundane activities exhaust us while purposeful hard work (gardening, cleaning etc) make us feel better at the end of the day.
I have a gut feeling that it is easier to build self-esteem and pride in children through purposeful physical hard work (as compared to scholastic hard work). But it is not easy to find time for such activities in schools today.
