"We Can't Help with Homework Anymore" Parody

[@kujo734]

LOL !!!!!! My daughter once asked me "WHY do we have to know Algebra??" I said, "One day, you'll have kids with homework." "REALLY??" "You got Algebra homework. See?" LOL

Sometimes remembering isn't even the problem! Half of the time it's because your parents do the math differently from how your teacher wants it to be done! In the great words of Mr. Incredible, "Why would they change math? Math is math. MATH IS MATH!!!"

[@ozymandiaspbs]

That is because the parents learned Math & the teachers are ‘teaching’ Common Core “Math”. I used to teach HS Math in public schools - “Common Core” = “Crap” ( I teach privately now, REAL MATH, as it has been taught for 4000 yrs)

[@LS-ei7xk]

Uh huh. Made me think just how useless it is memorizing all this crap. I swear the best class I took in HS was home ec.

It depends on what profession you go into. But yea most of what they teach us is useless once we leave high school

Oh my gosh. You nailed it. Try being a 59 yr old grandma trying to help a 4th grader with complicated fraction problems. I feel so dumb. 😂😂

[@lzeph]

I'm the same age, Carol. The inability to do math problems or to spell or use punctuation does not equal stupidity. Some of the most intelligent people I know can't spell or do even simple math worth beans, yet they're successful at using what they do know. While you and I are unable to help with school stuff, we have decades of life experience and so have equally valuable contributions to make in their lives.

[@NoArtisticLimitation]

My parents gave up on making us do homework eventually. In mum’s words “if you can’t teach them everything in six hours, don’t send them home and expect us to teach them” This was because mum realised that a lot of households ended up with huge arguments, and then the parents would just do it anyway, because they were too ashamed/scared to bring a kid to school without homework, making the whole thing redundant anyway. (Plus, as we were in primary/elementary school, the teachers didn’t even bother to check over it half the time; mum was a teacher aide, she saw the way many schools did it) And then my aunt gave up around that point, too. The crazy thing was, without the pressure on us to HAVE to get our homework in on time, let alone actually do it, us kids were much happier to do homework. True, we didn’t always get everything in on time, but it’s better to go to class with 80% completed homework that you did your best on, and enjoyed (somewhat), rather than 100% of homework you half-hearted simply because you were forced to do/complete it.
