What is this world coming to...?
So at work yesterday I was supposed to be doing homework with this little first grader and this little boy started and after a little while he just suddenly absolutely refused to finish his homework. It was so wierd, but I kept insisting that he do it...well that didn't work. So after homework time one of the other girls asked what had happened since he didn't finish his homework, and so I told her. And basically she was like "we have to make sure he does it because he will not do it at home." Of course I knew the answer to this, but I was thinking "and why won't he do it at home...come on where on earth are this kids parents at?" But of course I already knew the answer, alot of these kids parents are off working and don't seem to care that their kids aren't doing their homework. But it is most definately a hard job having to force kids to do their homework, especially when they're in first grade...just think 11 more years of homework and there won't always be a after school teacher around to force them to do their homework.

Seriously...it's so frustrating to get little kids excited about things like math and reading...bribery maybe? haha No, make it a contest or game of some kind, that's how you do it!! :)
It is a tough thing. It seems like they shouldn't have that much homework at that age. Keep up the good work Jeannio. You can do it! :) :)
Actually, they really don't have alot of homework...just two or three pages (with maybe five or six tiny problems on them). But they just don't want to do it...actually alot of them are fine with doing it. Mainly there are just three in particular that do try to get out of it.
Keep at it they may not thank you now, but they will later. Hope all is going well Thanks for hangin out with my sister.
