Homework stinks

The kids have only had a 3 day week but that didn't seem to slow the amount of homework any. Poor Joshua has been buried under mountains of homework and the added math worksheets I've been giving him to improve his math skills. The school curriculum today seems so hard and advanced. Plus the new way they teach math really blows my mind. They don't even have them setting up the problem. Instead they are drawing pictures of humps on a number line to find the answer. It's like hieroglyphics. The whole process takes five times longer than the traditional way to add and subtract. SO needless to say we will be continuing to practice math on the weekends till we have a 95% success rate. Stinks to be a kid... or does it?
