Summer Homework Procrastination Station
Posted by Joe Lunievicz on September 4, 2011
Here’s an ago old question. When given homework to do over the summer (which is just not fair in my book but it is the way of the world these days) why do kids wait until the week before school starts to do it? And (I Know, it’s a second question) why, when they do start to do it, kicking and screaming, complaining, whining, and knocking their heads against the wall, do they get angry at their parents for reminding them they have to do it?
Okay. Maybe this one answers itself.
Still.
How many kids actually do their summer homework when school is over? Yes, that’s a third question for those who are counting.
I mean, if school is over shouldn’t the homework be over also? Numero cuatro.
Isn’t the whole point of summer that you are released from structure for a couple of months? Numero cinco.
All I can say is that next year school isn’t over until the homework is done. Then it’ll really be summer. Well… that’s what I say now. We’ll see how things stand in June. I mean I had the same problem when I was M-ito’s age, only it was with homework during the school year, not over the summer. We didn’t have summer homework. And that was good.
