IS THIS BULLSHIT OR APPROPRIATE?

Some of the crap that gets sent home as homework is just babble I don't care what egghead or politician says otherwise.

It didn't take me long to figure out that is was no coincidence that all the diorama, creating a mobile of a cell or the planets and building a mission projects were all timed to coincide with a school's open house. They make nice decorations for the classroom when the parents come to visit.

I freaking hated when my kids were assigned those projects and after letting my son create his first diorama on his own (in kindergarten) and seeing those that the other kids supposedly made, I joined the herd of parents actively involved in helping my kids make some pretty spectacular projects. They STILL paled in comparison to what a lot of the kids turned in. It was a stupid competition among the parents.

I toyed with buying somebody else's mission online for one of my kids...I didn't do it but I was sure tempted.
