(lygenztia *119) Gotta write this fast, then build a nuclear reactor.


Effin, bloody, damn homework. Homework is nothing more than a Teacher’s revenge on me, for my child being a brat.

I went to High School. I went to College. Now, I am to be condemned to another lifetime of homework through my kids. My favourite antics are my son's. Nice boy…kind, caring, but with about as much common sense as a steel bar.

Sunday night, 6:14PM. “Dad, I need a straw hat with 3 things hanging from it that symbolize courage, loyalty and..mmm, I forget what else. I also need a working model of a nuclear reactor for period 1 tomorrow morning.”

Ok, ok, I threw the nuclear reactor thing in…but my point is…I have already done my homework. Don’t want anymore..no, no, no. I think it would be great to have a night to actually sit down relax, talk to my kids and not have to decipher algorithms. (Which should have been taught in class anyway.)

They get way too much homework nowadays and it is nothing more than a stressor on the family dynamic. Even Albert Einstein said that he never did homework once in his life.

Show me one single scientifically proven study that demonstrates that homework enhances the learning process and I will eat the paper this blog is printed on.

Just one.
