Did I say I was doing my son's homework? But thanks for assuming that I was. I said I was tired of coming up with sentences. I never said anything more.
Since you must assume that I am sitting around do a 2nd graders homeowrk-- let me explain ---- he is in 2nd grade and parents still have an active role in their chidlren's homework. Active role doesn't mean I am doing the assignment--- it means I assist.
Tonight's assignment was for me to make up and tell him sentences using his spelling words and a contraction (one each per sentence). I tell him the sentence and he has to write it correctly. This helps him with his spelling and his contraction lesson.
This is far from "doing" his homework-- believe me it would be a whole lot easier on my part to just write the sentences myself. It would save a LOT of time, lots of whining and frustration from all of us involved!!!
You are right-- people letting their kids off is a big problem --- but do not read into my original question. Assisting and taking an active role in a child's education ALOT of work-- ALOT!!!!
