I thought I would call this post: "Homework is an oxymoron": You're either at home or you're at work -- they're opposites. So, saying "homework" is pairing opposites -- it's an oxymoron, like "military intelligence" or "business ethics."
However, I'm a modern-kind-of-worker, and sometimes I would like to work from home, so . . . . forget it, get to the point and keep it simple: Homework Sucks.
Really, it does. Don't children have better things to do? Like skateboarding? Or surfing the net? Or playing with each other? Or eating a meal with the family? Or (this one is radical!): laughing, joking, teasing, and smiling with each other?
My sister Kate is more radical than I am: as she is slowly eating her scrambled tofu, she tells her son (almost 13): "forget school, drop out! let's travel to India together . . . . you will learn so much more!"
And her son responds:
"Mom, hurry up! I don't want to be late for soccer practice!"
