Homeworkin'

this article from [livejournal.com profile] mzrowan got me thinking about homework -- one of my favorite things to hate. The article details one father's attempts to do his 8th-grade daughter's homework every night for a week, and it gave me chills. 3 hours! a day!

Natalie has nightly homework, and she's in a phase of being interested in completing it, but when she stops being interested? I don't know what will happen.

Parents of older kids - how do you deal with homework? Is it too much? Everyone: WTF HOMEWORK?

That one gave me pause for a moment, too, but it's the disagreement between "three quotes" and "its". Shorten it to "three quotes with analyses of its significance" and you see the problem.
