Jokes 

Time management for school assignments:

Students should not spend more than 90 minutes doing homework per night. This time should be budgeted in the following manner:

15 minutes looking for the assignment.
11 minutes calling a friend for the assignment.
23 minutes explaining why the teacher is mean and does not like children.
8 minutes in the bathroom.
10 minutes getting a snack.
7 minutes planning the agenda.
6 minutes complaining to the parents that the teacher never explained the assignment.
10 minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Mom and 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 that begins at 9:30 PM and ends no earlier than 3:00 AM. It is important that the whole family be involved in the project.
It is imperative that at least one family member races to the local arts and crafts store for poster board, and that at least one family member ends up in tears.
(This does not have to be the student!)
