SCHOOL HOMEWORK POLICY

Dear Parents,

Here is an explanation of the school homework policy:

Students should not spend more than 90 minutes per night.

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 just does not like children;
8 minutes       in the bathroom;
10 minutes     getting a snack;
7 minutes       checking the TV Guide;
6 minutes       telling parents that the teacher never explained the assignment clearly;
10 minutes     sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Mom or Dad to do the assignment.

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 P.M. and ends at 11:50 P.M. - or later.

It is important that the whole family is involved in the project. It is imperative that at least one family member races across town to Wal Mart/K Mart for posterboard, and that at least one family member ends up in tears (does not have to be the student).
One parent needs to stay up and complete the project. The other parent needs to call the school attendance clerk and leave a message on the answering machine that the student will be out sick.
Above all it's not necessary to have the student's name on the assignment, teachers are trained to guess which student did the work.
