1. Parents don't spend any time helping their kids with school work. In our dual-income society, both the mother and the father are either working late or too tired to help a kid with his math or English or any other school work. Basically, the child is merely an annoyance to them.
My wife's the exception...she helps the kids so I can be on this board all night

Both our kids are in a private christian school, and they avg. 4+ hrs of homework a night...plus 2 hrs of tutor a week ea. They're in 4th and 6th grade. Back in the day (30 yrs ago), we didn't have homework, save for the odd book to read and a country report.

I believe any parent sending his child through the government schools today is being robbed of his tax money.
I couldn't agree more, 'cept that I don't get any tax credit for keeping mine from burdening the state.

Do I sound like my folks???
