That's true. Homework is supposed to be for practice only (or to finish something you started in class). They don't even grade the homework here, which is crazy, but they penalize the kids who don't do it. I wouldn't do it if nobody graded it. Fuck that. My little one has it finished by I get to the After School Program, so I don't even have to mess with it. They should just set up practice sites for the kids who need it and leave the other kids alone (unless it is a meaningful project like Science Fair).
My friend called me today who still works for the school system with a story about a kid who has been in trouble over 20 times already (only halfway through the school year) who beat the hell out of a poor kid with Asperger's. She said she has complained about his threatening behavior at least 50 times and all they did was change his schedule. I hope the other parent sues the fuck out of them for letting a hoodlum stay in school. I'm glad I don't have to deal with that anymore. My friend is on all kinds of nerve pills because it is so hard working where she works.
