re: Kid's homework is fricking ridiculous

Your child will learn that as long as their work is better than their peers they will get an A. There is no chance in hell 80% of her classmates are putting more than a few hours on each project.

Middle school projects are typically not very tough and wasting too much time on them will hurt her in the long run. Teach her to get shite done in a more timely fashion. It will help her down the line when she has important college/grad work to do.
