parents on schools and time

re: Richard Elmore's observation that family's time is a gift, not an entitlement:
This is exactly how I feel about most of my kids' homework -- it's throwing their childhood away.

One of the reasons we are currently homeschooling the elementary kids, I couldn't take one more scrap booking assignment disguised as literature or math. Not to mention the hours lost to drug awareness, school fundraising pep rallies and watching "Finding Nemo."

Indeed, the reasons to homeschool are numerous.

As if the low academic standards weren't bad enough, all the crap assignments just add insult to injury.
