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.
