Oh yes! I forgot that one... the "HOMEWORK"... I think that is just exemplary of inadequate teachers. In my day... grin ... homework was only when you didn't complete an assignment in class or studying for a test... it was not HOURS per day on a regular basis... no wonder such a large percentage of children today are overweight... they are supposed to sit in school all day then go home and sit some more while they do their homework for hours! It's just wrong!
