Homework. And the sad thing is that studies show that it doesn't help kids learn at all, just deadens them and makes them hate school. <em><strong>You can say that again. :(</strong></em> Ugg.

I know I have felt this way every April since the kids started school. I'm always ready for school to end before even they are. It's interesting to have you draw me back into that memory, because I don't feel that way this year. I may be overwhelmed, but I'm not anxious for school to end. I think I really love the learning (probably more than the teaching;) Of course, I could really do without the math most days! Once again, you've given me food for thought... <em><strong>Well feast away. I'll be back to your table soon. ;)</strong></em> This post brings back serious memories.

My son has a few more weeks of school but it will be nice when its out so that for one - there is no more homework at night but for another reason...we can all just relax and enjoy the hot summer days! (although I still have to work....but the pace is much, much slower) <em><strong>The change of pace is as welcome as the change of weather isn't it?</strong></em> I know..I can’t wait until this summer.

The change of pace is as welcome as the change of weather isn’t it?

Mr. J. is in year-round schooling. He gets three weeks off four times in the year. There really isn't much difference between the end of one school year and the beginning of the next other than changing teachers and areas of the school. And the older ones are on traditional schooling.... Did I say I miss summer vacation? *sigh* <em><strong>Awwww that's too bad!</strong></em> *sigh* I miss summer vacation.
