Homework Policy

One of hubby's principals sent this to his staff today since our entire district is working on getting grades into the computer and locked for the three week progress notes. I hope it gives my teacher buds a good laugh. Lord, knows I have needed one lately :-)

HOMEWORK POLICY

Students should not spend more than 90 minutes per night doing homework.This time should be budgeted in the following manner:

15 minutes looking for assignment

11 minutes calling a friend for the assignment

23 minutes explaining why the teacher is mean and does not like children

8 minutes in the bathroom

10 minutes getting a snack

7 minutes checking the T.V. Guide

5 minutes telling parents that the teacher never explained the assignment

11 minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Mom or Dad to do theassignment.

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 at11:50 - or later.

It is important that the whole family is involved in the project.

It is imperative that at least one family member races to Wal-Mart/Targetfor poster board, and that at least one family member ends up in tears (itdoes 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 thestudent is sick.

It is not necessary to have the student's name on the assignment.
