Not Our Homework Policy

Students should not spend more than 90 minutes per night.
This time should be budgeted in the following manner:

REGULAR ASSIGNMENTS

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
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 PM and ends at 11:50 PM - or later. It is important that the whole family is involved in the project. It is imperative that at least one family member races to Walmart/KMart 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 and leave a message that the student is out sick.
It is not necessary to have the student's name on the assignment.
