Yeah... Тhe kid will be - hey mommy, do we have a family bread recipe? YES? Can we make it at home together? I'll help you. I need to write it down for my homework, can you help me please? (That's what teacher imagined in his head, and probably exactly this bond between parent/kid the teacher is trying to create with this assignment)
And there's you - Oh fucking not again, I'm tired of your stuff, make your homework yourself...
Great parenting...
I understand your opinion, but this is an idealistic view. Something like this once in a while is a good idea and I approve the concept of parents spending time with their kids. It's just that elementary school teachers, who sometimes don't have kids themselves, have the tendency to assign overly complex homework, or things that the parents are forced to help their kids with, that are due within the next few days if not the day after. It's often pointless and unnecessary. Or at least the teachers in my old school were like this.
Ingredients: 1 vehicle in working order, $2-$7 based on bread preference, at least 15 minutes, patience to deal with idiot people. 1.) Drive to store. Don't hit any other vehicles or people. 2.) Park. Don't hit any other vehicles or people. 3.) Walk to bread isle. Don't punch anyone. Select bread you desire. 4.) See empty spot on shelf. Settle for different bread. 5.) Wait in line for 15 minutes while geriatric writes check on front of you. 6.) Try not to grimace when cashier asks if you found everything you were looking for. Pay. 7.) Return home without hitting any other vehicles or people. Make sandwich
