Here’s an example:
\n4:05-4:10pm child arrives home
\n5:00-6:00pm sporting event (sometimes it takes 30 minutes to get them to the location, especially since they need to change over)
\n7:00pm dinner
\n8:00pm dinner<\/p>\n
Course during all this time you notice I don’t have homework, bath, spending time with parents. Normally, at least in many families the spending time part is done at the dinner table or driving through a fast food place and chatting on the way home about the day. It is sad but this is how the sporting life goes.\u00a0 Today, the school raising the children and instead of a few hours after school with them we are running them around to do activities or sports, later homework from teachers. So does it surprise you that some parents in Calgary want their children to have a NO HOMEWORK Contract? Tom took this to the school and asked them not to have homework, however the school agreed and in the meantime the kids are doing home studying and work at home with dad. Now if other students\/parents want to do this they have to go in and negotiate a contract. In the meantime his kids can now focus harder on the areas they are weak in.<\/p>\n What do you think of this?<\/p>\n Post from: Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n
\nI’m not at all surprised, in fact there have been times I felt like banning homework or just ignoring. Shelly and Tom\u00a0Milley<\/a> thought there kids were spending way too much time on unnecessary subjects and not enough of the real ones they need to worry about. Hmm, sounds familiar, I’ve had the same argument when I complained mine weren’t learning history. I got to hear there isn’t enough time.\u00a0 Tom admits that his kids would have hours worth of homework and after much struggling with explaining and doing homework with his two kids he’d begin shouting out the answers, this would be around 10pm.<\/p>\n
