I am MAD!

Kellsie came home last Friday with massive packets of homework for spring brake. When they go back to school, she goes right into state testing. I am talking over 50 pages of homework. That is NOT ok. This homework is suppose to get her ready for the test. Isn't that what her teacher is suppose to do? The last two weeks the teacher has been having them work on a play. WHAT??? And they stick the kids with all that homework?

So Kellsie has been working on pages every night. Totally sucks since we have family activity's we want to do. So I sat down with her last night to go over them and see what she has left. Over half is still not done. No because she is not working hard, but because each page is filled and packed with math and English and other horrible such items.

I can't understand why a teacher would do that to a 10 year old. This is her brake. Time to spend with family not catch up on what she was suppose to do the past couple weeks.

Logan got two pages of homework and they were easy things, done in 5 min.

Rant is over!

I went to a parenting conference once. The speaker was INCREDIBLE! He said they have never shown that homework doesn't make any difference for a child under like 14 or 16. Meaning it shows no better grades then or later. It has no effect. Nice-just a time waster then. Fabulous. I was horrified. Then why the devil give it to them!!!
