[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well teacher, you will not need to give our child a zero because we send them to an school where they don't assign meaningless drivel. Further, there is no homework in the early years.  [/quote]

But when will you stop wiping their ass?  What if their college professor assigns them "meaningless drivel?"  What then?[/quote]

Then that will get reflected in their college professor's end of course evaluation, which in these days of low-paid assistant professorships does not bode well for job security for the teacher. 
The same cannot be said for lousy/lazy teachers who teach little and assign garbage homework but can't be fired. I don't know where you went to college but in all my college and grad school years, I only had one professor assign ridiculous homework, and the reason was that he was kept on the school's payroll to satisfy the demands of his superstar faculty wife as part of her employment contract.
Don't get me wrong: there are tons of wonderful teachers out there who assign meaningful, useful homework.  But a Thanksgiving word search in 7th grade? Give me a f******* break.[/quote]
