To go along with beginning of school, do you think it is right to assign homework?

TubaQueen • Roses are red, Tulips are too. If you don’t wash your hands, I’m not chilling with you.

CC has been dead lately so in honor of school starting, should teachers assign homework? I’m not talking about if you didn’t finish class work, but additional work to be done outside of class. If yes, should it be mandatory/graded or just additional practice? Please explain your reasoning.
