Homework Policy
Here is an explanation of our homework policy :
Students should not spend more than 90 minutes per night. The time should be budgeted in the following manner:
- 15 minutes looking for assignment
- 11 minues calling a friend for the assignment
- 23 minutes explaining to parents 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 homework
- 10 minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Mom to do the assignment
Long Term Assignments:
These are given the night before they are due. This explains the name “long term.” It is a long term commitment to time that begins at 9:30 PM and ends at 11:50 PM. It is important that the whole family is involved in the project. It is imperative that at least one family member race to WalMart for posterboard, and that 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.
