Homework

School is in just the second week here, but the avalanche of homework has already washed over us. Throw in soccer practice and a weekly piano lesson and there's not a lot of time for a kid to be a kid. Most of the homework falls into the category of 'drill and kill' in my opinion. The result, I'm afraid, will be a further loss of enthusiasm for school and school work. Not good. Plus, it puts the parent who happens to be home at the time, (in this case, me), in the position of taskmaster. A lose-lose situation.
