Back to School?
OK, so I am not really going back to school, but it sure as heck seems like it.
Back to school night just took place at LatteGirl’s school, and really what it boiled down to was letting parents know what was expected of THEM for the upcoming school year.
Now, I am all for pushing students at a young age when their little brains are like sponges and can absorb so much, but honestly do these teachers believe that you (or your child) has absolutely nothing else to do on any given evening than to just dedicate the entire evening to homework?
I am not anti-homework (Did I really just say that? My mother would faint!), but they can really go overboard, and we are in week 2. I am seriously afraid of what is coming down the road.
To those of you that have 2 or more. I bow down to you. I can hardly keep up with one, I can’t imagine having to corral and work with more than one on any given evening.

I remember my kids being in elementary school and them having so much home work that it took them the entire night to do it. Rather ridiculous if you ask me. Then they wonder why these kids don’t want to do any in middle school or high school…they did too much in elementary school!
My Little Man is in 2nd grade and has at least 3 subjects and reading to do…every…night!
The older two are on their own – unless they’re really stuck, and then I send them to their father – coloring with Mini-me is about all I can handle at the end of the day ;o)
Yep, still doing homework right now. Football practice 4 nights a week for the middle one on top of that.
