Last night my 14-year-old daughter complained about the amount of homework she got; she said, with level 4 classes, she was expecting MORE! Yes, I officially have the strangest kid.
Kid didn’t like it years and years ago when I pointed out that arguing and procrastinating about his homework for 2 hours meant that his 30 minutes worth of just doing the work actually took him 150 minutes, and that he’d wasted 4/5ths of his time. So he pouted another ten minutes and then found his math error in about 20 seconds. He was pleased he found the answer “all by himself” though…

So, Mike, you’re saying you already finished your homework? Hope about — oh, I don’t know — do the next chapters if you’re that bored?

I doubt he’s even opened his books to do his homework. He’d rather lie there and complain.

Ah. He doesn’t consider homework as something to do. He blames them for his being bored because he doesn’t want to do it.

I seldom (almost never) did homework! They said it was for practice. I said I knew it already so I didn’t need practice. Proved it on exams!!

If you’re bored, go clean your room.

Look at it this way: by the time you’re done with all of that homework it’ll be time to go to sleep!

He’s lucky he only has to stay home for four days or so, my mom would have made him clean all weekend.

I am so with you there. Nothing can take the life out of living like homework. Wait, I work from home sometimes. Never mind.

I remember those days (or “daze”) as a teen. I wish I had all those wasted minutes back.

My class was “experimental” Starting in 7th grade, there was zero homework. Fine with me, I’d usually read up on what I was interested in already.

Why is it there are times when you’re bored and yet nothing sounds interesting to do?

Doesn’t he mean he’d have nothing to do?

You have some time to think about your actions of the recent past. Hopefully you will think twice before you “test the limits” again!

Third day in a row my comment has been deleted. Time to talk to the moderator and see what is going on.
