The point of giving homework due the next day is to give the students a chance to practice what they learned that day or prep them for a subject the next day. Practicing new material helps retain the info.
I'm a dinosaur so homework was done by chiseling stone tablets.  We had daily homework due the next day, plus more long term projects.
RV, I don't see any harm in a reasonable amount of homework. In the districts near me students have plenty of time to come home, have a snack, play for awhile and still get homework done. Everything I just said applies to "regular" classes. Students in advanced classes can expect more homework. Some of those students can have hours of homework each day.
