I am not good at the whole school thing. This year I have failed miserably with homework and next year it is bound to get worse. Every night Scott is supposed to read for 15-20 minutes. I was really good at it for a while but in the last three months I can probably count on my fingers how many times he has done it. And that's all his teacher has required him to do for homework! He's not going to get bad grades because he didn't do it but instead of getting a gold reading medal, he is only going to get a silver. (At least it's better than a bronze, right?) I really need to schedule the reading to be done at a certain time during the day and make sure it happens, but I don't. In my head I think that if it is important to Scott he would do it. However, HELLO, he is only 7 years old. 7 year olds have parents to guide and teach them. It's my job to help him get his homework done or at least help him schedule the time for his homework. Next year will be worse. Not only will he have to do reading but he will also have other homework. Yes, I know this is just the tip of the iceberg. He will have homework galore as he gets older. One of his friends has to do chores and homework right after school before he can play. Sometimes he is calling Scott at 5:30 to play because that's how long the homework has taken. I really should do that! That would require discipline on my part. I don't have much discipline.
There is only one more week of school and then 6 weeks before school starts again. That's how long I have to pull it together. I sure hope I can do it!
By the way, I never was great at doing homework. I got good grades until I went to college and then I couldn't figure out how to do the astronomical amounts of homework that were required. That is probably where my problem stems from.
