Why home-schooling just won’t fly at my place….
I am truly not smarter than a fifth grader.
My ten-year-old brought home his first homework of the year..and I actually had to say ” wait until your father gets home”!
I gave up.
It was math ( not my strong point even on a good day with a lot of sleep)…and it involved triangles and measurements. Need I say more?
I am a disppointment as a mother..I have reached a new low.
As for that homework..the two of them whipped it off in less than a half hour..!
Maybe parents should be tested at the beginning of every school year to make sure they are ready for the year ahead…and a fifth-grader’s homework.
I will now be tuning in to Global TV’s “Are You Smarter than a Canadian 5th Grader”.
Send me back to math class.
Ask me about books… and my favourite English teachers instead!
