GUIDELINES FOR DOING SCHOOL HOMEWORK
                  (see also "seriously" down the page)

Since it is the school policy that students should not spend more than
90 minutes per night doing homework, this time should be budgeted in
the following manner:
15 minutes looking for assignment
11 minutes calling a friend for the assignment
23 minutes explaining why the teacher is mean and just does not like teenagers
8 minutes in the bathroom
10 minutes getting a snack
7 minutes checking the TV Guide
6 minutes telling parents that the teacher never explained the assignment
10 minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Mom or Dad to do the assignment

Long Term Assignments
These are given the night before they are due. This explains the name "long term".
It is a long term commitment to time that begins at 9:30 p.m. and ends at 11:50 p.m. - or later.
It is important that the whole family is involved in the project. It is imperative that at
least one family member races to Walmart for poster board, and that at least
one family member ends up in tears (does not have to be the student). One parent needs
to stay up and complete the project. The other parent needs to call the school and leave
a message that the student is out sick. It is not necessary to have the student's name on
the assignment.

AND REMEMBER:   Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
