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?

I used to get home around dinner time, because it took about that long to get home from school: I was in a magnet program. I can't tell where the author of the article lives, but if they have a haul to get to school, that might be the first chance the kid gets to really work on homework. (I could do readings and stuff on the bus, and did, but not everyone can..a lot of folks would get carsick if they tried that.)
