Homework

We have eighteen kids in school.  And five of those are also in Teleton.  There is mountains of homework every night.  Some of it is ridiculous homework, but that is not for us to decide.  It still has to be done.  Some of the kids get theirs done and have the rest of the day to play.  Some choose to battle us and it takes hours to get the simplest thing done and multiples of hours to get more complicated ones done.  Some are not capable of doing what has been assigned them and someone has to diligently stay by their side and help and coax and plead it out of them.  Some days there are tears.  And some days there are big smiles as something clicks for someone.  There is almost big sighs of relief when, and if, it is all finished.
