Lifes Like That

Wow, for the past two weeks, the kids didn’t have very much homework.  I guess they were just getting them into the routine of things.  Today they both came home with a ton of homework.  My daughter is in grade 4 so she can do most of her homework herself, but my son who is in grade 2 needs a help.  So with him bring home a lot of homework, this means a lot of homework for me as well.  After being involved with the school system for the past 13 years, I still don’t understand why they need to send so much homework home.  What on earth do they do during the school day.  The kids love school, but if this much homework continues, I can see that they won’t be so thrilled to go.  This is what happened towards the end of the school year last year and I’m just hoping that it doesn’t continue into this year.
