my daughter's homework

Osgoodisgood

Here I am trying to finish my daughter's homework when I really need to be watching the football.

Does anyone know of a website that lists news headlines by month for the last year? A genius answer will mean I don't have to go page by page through the last year's news. I just need the headlines.

Any thoughts?

Aoifey!

Why are you doing your daughter's homework?

archive search at the bottom of the page might help.

Hahahaha this is great. Someone expects someone else to do someone else's homework.

Did you leave her in a car alone for 40 minutes earlier today by any chance?

Despite moral implications, is this what you're looking for?

Wiki! Who would have guessed? Many thanks. And there are zero moral implications to worry about trust me.

Make her do her own homework.


Genius.

Speaking of homework, I had some bastarding stuff when I was about 9. English homework, my ma rang my uncle (an English teacher), and he hadn't a clue either.

True story.

Because she has sh1tloads of homework to do, 3 hours so far, and I said I'd help her with this part. I'm also a great dad!

Google Archive.

And it's nice to see a parent doing their child's homework. It means you must really love her since she'll probably never get an education, job, or move out. You must wanna keep her around supporting her until you die.

Wrong. You are the BEST dad ever

What did she have to do for this bit of homework? Out of curiousity.

3 hours to do her homework? I think she needs more than Daddys help....

That depends on her age, TBH.
If she's in primary school, then, that's probably a fair comment.
At secondary level, though, it's not all that uncommon. All it takes is for two teachers to give a project for homework on the same night, add in the homework for other subjects - and three hours worth stacks up in no time.........

She's 11.

Too much work for an 11 year old.


One of my primary school teachers was in favour of lengthening the school day, adding to and lengthening the breaks during school, including a daily PE session, and getting rid of homework entirely.

Smart woman.

Adding too much regular homework to confirmation homework makes for a ludicrous workload IMHO. I'm happy to help and the bonus is that it confirms her suspicion that I'm cool.

What's confirmation homework? I can only remember one piece of sacrament-related homework I ever had. Learn Zacchaeus was a Greedy Little Man.

The nightmares persist. DAMN YOU ZACCHAEUS YOU GREEDY B*STARD!

You gotta get your priorities straight. It's the Semi-Final of the Champions League.

If my child was being tortured in the shed by a murderous sadist & I knew about it, I'd still watch the match.

pow wow

"When the rent they couldn't pay, he took la la la away"....

Isn't it learning off religious info like the ten commandments and stuff? There was much more to it but clearly I didn't learn mine that well

DonkeyStyle \o/

Yes, write her a note.
Three hours of homework is fucking bullshit and you should tell the teacher as much.

Surely that'd be unlikely to happen seeing as he's watching the match?

Couldn't you just feed her homework to the dog, then take photos of the dog eating it, so when she goes to school tomorrow and tells the teacher and the teacher says "yeah right", daughter whips out the digital camera and says "in your face teacher", and that'll teacher (geddit??) not to give 3 hours homework again!

Just burn down the school. She has more time to finish her homework, everyone gets a holiday, jobs are created for firemen, engineers, architects and builders. It's win-win.

Arson, the original panacea.

Just checked. The child is fine and busy googling and copying. I'm having a half time drinkie.

a 6th class student should get 1hr homework a night. 10 mins per class approx is the rough guideline given. If your child is taking 3 hours it could mean doing the homework while watching the tv and having a snack or dinner and going on the net etc. is included. Given that it's May I would imagine this is the first time it has taken 3 hrs - if it isn't, you are not doing a good job.
Maybe the project was given gefore Easter but just never done during the holidays and now the pressure is on. There are alot of possibilities, a bit more info would be handy.
From my experience as a primary teacher, no teacher has ever given 3hours plus homework on any given night, there's more to the story I would imagine, I could of course be wrong.

In my experience as a primary school student, a small minority of teachers are sadistic and evil, could just be that. I certainly had that experience in primary school, had one absolutely horrible teacher. This was nearly 20 years ago now though, so I assume that kind of thing is against said guidelines.

Wait... you're a teacher, you could do the homework in record time.

OP - Result!

I'm with all the others who said that 3 hours of homework is way too much for an 11 year old. My DD is same age and doing Confirmation this year too and I have to say I would call a halt on the homework and send in a note.

To those of you who don't know what Confirmation homework is - take it from me that our generation was only half Confirmed - in fact seeing the amount of stuff my DD has to do for the Confimation, I think maybe that we weren't confirmed at all!

Now, how did you get on with the Maths?

I don't do homework! I only correct it;)

Yeah, 20yrs ago there were sadistic teachers - quite a few of them. I remember being in fear of my life going to school because I didn't know my Irish verbs or whatever. But 'if' the teacher was one, May would not be the first time this would have arisen.

I swear to gawd, if that's shorthand for Darling Daughter, I'm getting me fecking coat.

3 hours homework? Balls to that. Teach her how to lie. Takes 5 minutes.

that's not a nice thing to be teaching her, being economical with the truth is much better;)

NO! Not until you recite the ten commandments

DD is internet mum shorthand for darling daughter. Said internet mum might have awesome tahtahs, but she most definitely has a daughter.

I would have rebelled myself if a teacher gave me three hours when I was in 6th class (although my 6th class teacher was really cool).

How much of this is confirmation homework and how much of it is regular ****e?

And which bit are you doing?

I "helped" with the confo bit and I checked the proper bit. About 50:50 tonight I'd guess.

I don't feel the tiniest bit guilty I assure you. My daughter just told me I'm awesome. I'll overlook the Glee vocab and just revel in the fact that tonight at least she meant it.

Ypur darling daughter wotn learn anythign if you do it for her. I think DD had daddy wrapped ha:D
