What’s the secret code for getting out of homework…?

June 13, 2012 9 Comments

I am soooooo glad it’s the end of the school year!  I am tired of fighting The Battle of the Homework.

Going through Grant’s papers I found this:

The assignment was to look up a word and write the definition.  While it would no doubt have helped if he had spelled concert correctly, he appears to have looked up the word and seen things like noun or {ins(t) ru-ment} written directly after the word and just stopped reading.

My dictionary is broken!  Oh well! All done!

…Thus giving him plenty of time to work on a more important project: His Secret Code.

(Is it mean of me that his writing is so messy, I initially thought the code characters were just sloppily formed numbers…?)  I have tried to figure out the “challenge” word and I am just not bright enough.

I want to just rest this summer and am hoping that 3rd grade has several projects that involve espionage, dinosaurs and story writing.

Hopefully all together.

    Hear ya. When Austin was his age, he would rather write a complex story about red dust and killer squirrel soldiers before doing homework. Sigh…

    I wanted to throw myself a party when school ended. Homework with a certain red head is like dealing with ticking time bomb, every, single, day. We are all finished with elementary school, and I am not one bit sad. I have been through the ugliness of middle school already, and this time I embrace it. For whatever reasons, the 5th grade teachers decided 12 projects all at the end of the year was a good idea. Not to mention doing 12 projects with twins, one of which requires hand holding the entire way through. Yes, I was not a fan of the 5th grade teachers by the time school ended. 6th grade, they do the work themselves, projects included. Sorry, building a ramp and testing the variables while a mini car races down it, then changing it three times is not considered “fun” in my book, right after a 30 page intensive State report. Oh sure, this is something any 5th grader can easily accomplish on their own…….Oh yeah, and they also had to “build” a float for a parade to accompany the individual state reports. Thanks for providing this comment space for me to vent.
    BTW, Grant’s secret code is hilarious!!! My kids don’t love me enough to do anything this cute.

    Oh good, it’s not just me that struggles with the homework battle. Our son is five and homework was a daily struggle. I keep telling myself, about his writing, maybe he’ll be a doctor. They have terrible writing too.

    I had to leave a comment thanking you for the neverending belly laugh that escaped me after reading about needing to keep the fact that you like beans and love your mom on the down low. This was OMG hilarious.

    Found your blog through your guest entry on “The Scrappy Housewife” and am so glad I stopped by!!!
