Homeworkin'

[moominmolly]

this article from 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?

It makes me really happy when someone has already proved my hypothesis - that's exactly the kind of situational or environmental factor I was thinking about when I said that I don't think it's right to think of these as absolute traits, so much as tendencies that can and will vary over time.
