Homework has always been a source of stress and frustration for students, and author Dan Gutman

perfectly captures this struggle in his book \"Homework Machine.\" The story follows a group of
friends who create a machine that can do their homework for them, but soon realize that there are
consequences to taking the easy way out.

Gutman's book sheds light on the pressure and expectations placed on students to excel academically.
With the increasing workload and limited time, it's no wonder that many students feel overwhelmed
and turn to shortcuts like the homework machine.

But as Gutman's characters learn, there are no shortcuts in life. The machine may have helped them
get good grades, but it also took away the opportunity to learn and grow from their assignments.
And when the truth about the machine is revealed, they face the consequences of their actions.

As readers, we can relate to the characters' struggles and understand the temptation to use a
homework machine. But the book also serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us that hard work and
dedication are essential for success in the long run.

So what can we do to alleviate the stress and frustration of homework? One solution is to seek help

He liked the book and found it interesting, but disliked the fact that so many people got away with
wrongdoing. Full content visible, double tap to read brief content. So, when he tells them that he has
invented a machine that does homework, they taunt him until he agrees to demonstrate. Miss
Wineberg. Sigh. Apparently author Dan Gutman is so accurate in his descriptions of fifth grade life
that a fellow professor I know uses the book in his college education class and has his students
analyze the various interactions. And keep him wanting to read more. 2022-ng-reading-challenge

Primary school children learn about friendship and responsibility. A lot of little things about this
book are really meaningful to me, and I feel like the vast majority of my critiques could be addressed
through tweaks or line changes rather than adjusting the entire core of the book (e.g. just add other
Asian characters!). And if Snik's storyline with his dad and the chess game doesn't get you in the
feels, you probably don't have any. The 4 kids become better friends and try to keep their homework
machine from everyone else. He creates a homework machine to do his homwwork for him. The 4
main characters are Sam, Judy, Brenton and Kelsey. Then Brenton let's his little seceret slip and tells
Sam about the homework machine. Their teacher in the fifth grade was Miss Rasmussen, first year
out of teaching college and a little green. Beginning his freelance career as a nonfiction author
dealing mostly with sports for adults and young readers, Gutman has concentrated on juvenile fiction
since 1995. Being enrolled in an online MLIS program, where school is almost entirely composed of
homework, works really well for me. I spent hours exploring it when I moved here, and took lots of
pictures of the layers of rock. There are many ways that you can use these resources. See full terms

machine complicate their lives. I bought this for my 12 year old son (11 at the time) for a 6th grade
school assignment. That was the first time I ever told anybody at school that my dad died. The only
thing I did not like in this book was the fact that a girl in grade 5 getting her bellybutton pierced.
Also, a serious tragedy happens to one of the kids and I didn't like the way the book dealt with it at
all. The dynamics within the group are stressful as well. This one kid took his computer and with a
few keystrokes got just about everybody in America to do this dumb thing. Not much real intensity,
no poverty, satisfying ending, plenty of heart. The only thing I did not like in this book was the fact
that a girl in grade 5 getting her bellybutton pierced. See full terms and conditions and this month's
choices. His most popular titles include the time-travel sports book Honus and Me and its sequels,
and a clutch of baseball books, including The Green Monster from Left Field. So can you really
blame us for the dumb thing we did. Brenton and Judy are really smart and they do not need the
machine.
There is one element of the story that I could have done without, but I won't give it away. 2 likes

that Judy, as the primary Black character, is also a genius in her own right and that she works really
hard to get good grades and a major part of her story is her need to be a teacher's pet. Please try

The story is fun to listen to and we loved the various characters' perspectives. He goes on adventures

Can you just tell the story what I liked was the story over it all it’s pretty good. A group of kids in a

Reed Business Information. It was very mysterious because it was mixed of mystery and realistic
and also it was not one person telling the one story but many people took turn to talk about what
happened. The book style is easy to read since it is written in short snippets from each of the 4
students involved in this diabolical scheme. A boy named John sees this and he is wondering what
was happening. The technology aspect of the tale is thoroughly plausible: Scan in the homework
assignment sheet. When you click it and you will be taken to a page where you can give a rating. As
an alternative, the Kindle eBook is available now and can be read on any device with the free Kindle
app. I would recommend this book to not many people because I don't think many people would get
it like I did. The 4 main characters are Sam, Judy, Brenton and Kelsey. Using an audio version to
access the story did work well for this format, and saved me trying to make the voice of each
character sound different if reading aloud. I saw it coming a chapter or two before, but I was still
kind of surprised that he went there. The writing style, everyone writing in first person, took me a bit
to get used to but afterwards reading was very smooth. 2 likes Like Comment Porter 36 reviews
