My third reason is that by doing homework the teacher will get proof that you paid attention to the

and she did give me the option of pulling the plug on the homework, but not with a reassurance that
doing so wouldn’t affect my kid’s grades (i.e., as I understand it, my kid could still “lose points” for
not completing assignments even if I write a note explaining the issue). My girls are glad to have a
street full of brothers they know will have their backs. In the late 1950s, with many blaming
America’s Cold War failures on a lack of educational rigor, parents began demanding more
