| Grr ~ Homework |
| Tuesday, August 21, 2007 |
I hated homework as a child...who didn't? And as a teenager, I chose not to do it. :) So now that Madi is in 4th grade the homework is getting pretty heavy...and to make matters worse, I'm not here to supervise! Madi gets out of school at 3:15 p.m. (and is home by 3:30ish). I don't get home until after 6:00. So she has 2 1/2 hours time where no one is allowed in the house, the tv is not allowed to be on, and she is not allowed to leave the house. This should be PLENTY of time to get her homework done...but she's not getting it done! I just want to scream! When I get home, she is usually still working on homework until 7:30 to 8:00! This is ridiculous. I really believe it is mostly her fault. She just won't focus. It's crazy though. She knows she can go outside and play or watch tv or play on the computer as soon as she is done...she just won't finish!
Honestly, Madison is in the gifted program, so it isn't an issue of just not getting it. She is LAZY! She doesn't want to think for herself. If you don't know me you may would assume that maybe she has never been required to think for herself. But that is far from the truth. In fact, my mother has often gotten on to me for making Madison become too independant. I just don't know how to make her understand that if she would just hurry up and do it, it would be all over!
As my mother would say...."Hardheaded Youngen!" :)Labels: Homework, School |

lol - hardheaded...I wonder where she got that from!

Is she challenged enough? Perhaps the material isn't exciting enough for her??
-
From her Aunt Mandy :) I'm sure :)

Hey - I just thought I'd tell ya' that you're getting anywhere from 4-7 visits from my website daily! (More than anyone other link on my site besides Heather's). Doesn't that make you feel special? ;o)

I was exactly the same, didn't have to crack a book thoughout school. When it came to homework I'd do the least. I predict she'll be working NASA one day.
