Heart of the City by Steenz for April 28, 2010

Didn’t do my homework so I had to carry a load of guilt.

I first thought he had joined the classical marching band when I saw p1

“all sanity is lost.”

It’s strange, with all the electronic resources, kids backpacks are getting bigger and heavier. I don’t get it. I had a cheap, small backpack as a kid, my son needs a superfancy mountain camping backpack to carry all his textbooks around.

then you can use the books for kindling.

They’re how old? Seven, eight? And they have that much homework?!?!!

My kids don’t get to bring home textbooks now. They have to share them with all the other classes. I’m back in college and have to read all my texts online. I’d much rather have a real book.

In elementary and middle school I was always lugging thick books to and from school (plus a violin). In high school, teachers rarely made us bring our books to class, so I could leave mine at home most of the time. Now, my coworkers’ kids get their assignments posted online (like when I was in college!) and can print off their homework if they leave it at school. Their parents have a login as well, so they can monitor their kids’ grades, too. I wish we had Blackboard.com when I was in grade school…!!

GEE1G , why did you make your cello into a kid?

I hope homework rots in hell!
