Summer Homework Blues
From one of my favorite Bloggers Terri Mauro atAbout.com: Parenting Special Needs:
How are you doing with your summer homework?
What's that? You don't have summer homework? It's your child who has summer homework?
Join me in a hearty laugh, won't you?
In my house, anyway, homework's a full-family experience. Especially those summer projects that arrive without benefit of classroom enforcement. They generally involve things that no teacher would assign during the school year, when he or she would have to actually explain the material to my children.
I have to think that the teachers who assigned Treasure Island and O Pioneers! to my comprehension-challenged kiddos were having a laugh, too, but at our expense.
No matter. I'm a homework believer, and the summer is big enough and broad enough to encompass work and leisure, too. If only, oh, if only I didn't have to be so involved.
