10 Reasons I Hate The Homework Gods

Posted on October 2, 2023 by Courtney

1. My kids always come home with excessive amounts of homework on days they have soccer practice.
2. Both my kids want my help and it’s a real bitch flip-flopping between second grade math and fifth grade social studies.
3. Plus they changed math.
4. How do we go through so many pencils?
5. The neighbors across the street are homeschooling, so while my kids trudge through the homework grind, the kids across the street are frolicking and laughing loudly.
6. I cannot empathize how much I hate second grade math.
7. My son’s teacher sends home a weekly packet and so help me god, there are always extra pages during a four-day week.
8. Research shows that elementary school homework has no academic benefit to kids. So that’s great.
9. Kids need downtime, not busywork.
10. I think my second grader learns more from Minecraft than he does from the shitty math worksheets created by the shitty math textbook our district uses.
