Yahoo for BK!

We are not nearly as close. I don't count down until the very end of the year. I refuse to believe I am running out of time. So much left to teach!

I think girlikeu2 has the right idea for tackling Mondays!

I am late getting my kid to bed as we were doing homework. Tired mommy. For a teachers kids she sure does miss the homework deadline sometimes. Sigh...

You know what? Don't sweat it the homework deadlines. Ya win some, ya lose some. Spawn (my daughter) is in 3rd grade and I have given up the illusion that her mother is any less addled than any other kid's mother. OOPS when I forget to sign the agenda or check the spelling, math, and science homework of the day.

I have to say that being a parent makes me a MUCH better teacher because I GET how "stuff happens" is a valid explanation sometimes. I also think that "it just wasn't worth the melt down (hers or mine)" should be a valid excuse every so often.

Sign me

Underachiever but darn it all I am not dying of a stroke from 3rd grade stress.

Personally I am all for a critical look at the function of homework.

And I agree, being a parent, has made me a better teacher.
