one hour of work, and many times, none... At the same time, our town is
a high rated system when it comes to diplomas... so, it can be done. At

I am not exactly sure what you are implying. It sounds like you are
saying that your mom helped institute a policy that all but guarantees a
HS diploma, regardless of academic achievement or qualification. Is that
what you are saying?

Wow, I think you are channeling loogie but I will spell it out for you.
Schools can in fact teach the students without 40 plus hours of homework
a semester. Our system has been doing that for over 50 years and our
system is constantly among the highest rated educations in the state...

I would believe that only if your students take three or four subjects, and have a lot of in-school
time for homework. If your middle- and high school students are not given a few hours during the
school day for homework, then I don't believe the students are doing as well as you say. I believe
this - the way to learn math is to do math. Your 40+ hours of homework a semester amounts to less
than a half-hour per day. Perhaps your school day goes from 7:30 AM to 6:00PM? Then I'd believe you.

Perhaps, you can't do math.... and either way, you can look up the
results, you don't have to "believe" me....

Your clarification, earlier, solved the problem.

Sounds like your schools are pretty normal with about two hours of homework per night.

Scotty has made it VERY clear here that he doesn't like education or
educated people.
