Daily Homework Policy

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

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 students
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 Homework Policy

These assignments are always given the night before they are due. This explains “long-term”
It is a long-term commitment to the time it takes to finish it, which usually begins at 9:30 p.m. and ends at 11:50 p.m….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 Wal-Mart 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
