No homework?

Yup let’s not require homework.

Let’s not pressure kids to learn when they’d rather be playing video games.

This way the kids get what they want and needn’t learn responsibility unless the teacher is watching them.

The teachers needn’t suffer angst over lowering grades.

The school principals needn’t answer for lower than norm averages.

Better yet make the tests easier.

The parents needn’t worry about their kids’ grades.

Happy, happy, happy.

Lazy, lazy, lazy.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Those who know better, including the Chinese, Indians, Japanese and others, are roaring with laughter, confident in their future prospects.

And our demise.
