Here is an explanation of the school homework policy:
Students
should not spend more than 90 minutes per night. This time should be budgeted
in the following manner:
15 minutes looking for assignment.
11
minutes calling a friend for the assignment.
23 minutes explaining why
the teacher is mean and just does not like children.
8 minutes in the
bathroom.
10 minutes getting a snack.
7 minutes checking the
TV Guide.
6 minutes telling parents that the teacher never explained
the assignment.
10 minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting for
Mom or Dad to do the assignment.
LONG TERM ASSIGNMENTS
(These
are given the night before they are due according to the student)
This
explains the name "long term":
It is a long term commitment to time
that begins at 9:30PM and ends at 11:50PM - or later.
It is important
that the whole family is involved in the project.
It is imperative
that at least one family member races to Walmart/KMart for posterboard, and
that at least one family member ends up in tears (does not have to be the
student).
One parent needs to stay up and complete the project. The
other parent needs to call the school and leave a message that the student is
out sick.
It is not necessary to have the student's name on the
assignment.
