Sorry I think my point came across wrong ... I sense that you're an intelligent person and an involved and caring parent - your kids are truly lucky.

And she's hot.
Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.

Yeah well, you know, I'd home school her but it would totally interfere with my WoW.
I think we're actually all saying the same thing. Except for Maz. He thinks I'm actually Morticia.

You're not Morticia?? Why do you seek to ruin my dreams, Teacake? Why!?

Considering the amount of times you've reached through my virtual chest and ripped out my heart, lifeless and bloody, how could you expect me to think otherwise?
Oh, the pain...

This thread has changed direction drastically.
The scottish school system seems so much more relaxed.
Preschool is optional.
Primary school from 4-11
Highschool from 11-17 with the last two years being optional.
Even in my 5th year of highschool, which was the busiest year for me, I didnt have homework every night. And it only took longer than 30 minutes if I had a larger project like an English essay.

They'll rape us to death, eat our flesh and sew our skins into their clothing. And if we're very, very lucky... They'll do it in that order.

When I was in elementary school, we had 1-2 hours a day of homework assignments, but 95% of it were "finish the day's work" sort of tasks, so I never had any homework. This continued till I left the state school system and enrolled in an "elite" private school in Year 7. Even then, I didn't have much homework.
In High School in America (Florida), I ended up having finished the year's work in some classes after 3-4 months, and there wasn't much homework apart from preparing for the class I taught (long story, I was a rubbish teacher, and I spent far too little time actually preparing). I had a couple of English essays to write, but I wrote 50+ pages a week for leisure, so those weren't very dramatic.
After I returned, I went back to the same private school to do college there. I failed. Basically, I took 12 classes, each of which required at least 5 hours of homework a week, on top of revision for exams (and we had 2-3 exams per subject each year, so do the math), which was impossible to achieve while having a job to try and feed two and tending to a sick boyfriend.
Now here in England, I only have 22 hours of classes a week and I'm supposed to spend 8-10 hours of homework on those. It ends up being less for those subjects but taking on Dutch without lessons has proven more time-consuming than all of them combined.
I'll have even less lessons next year but there's a lot more coursework to be done for some subjects (60-80 page chemistry dissertation? I don't even get a degree for this!).
As for spending time with your children, I generally want to agree that it's important but quite honestly with some of the bad parenting I've seen, I'd rather have the children left in front of the television than let them see how their parents roll their joints and get belted every time they ask something they want to know for homework. Or aren't able to communicate with their children on an appropriate level.

I think many kids spend more time in front of the TV then their parents planned on. But lets face it, you're exhausted, starving, your head is pounding, and your precious little one won't stop eating her own hair!! 
In the 45 minutes the Sesame Street video plays you manage to: collect some of the many cheerios sprinkled liberally across the carpet, put away all the soap boxes she lined up, do the dishes, start the laundry, make yourself a sandwich, and actually get off your feet for a few minutes. Your kid survived the day, and guess what, you're feeling a lot calmer now. Plus that park is still going to be there when the video ends, assuming you can find where she hid her shoes... Just enough time left to re-post some things on the AH; hopefully it'll all sell and you'll have some gold waiting for youwhen if she goes down for the night.
