[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"good enough" seems to be the OPs approach. A solid carreer in Government bureaucracy is the probable outcome.  Not a good life lesson IMHO.  "do your best" is the cub scout motto and a much better way to look at life if you want more than a 9-5 grind....   [/quote]
You know, I have a solid career (I like to spell it with one "r") in Government bureaucracy. I'm happy, make a decent salary, get a lot of time off, and generally feel very content with my life. There are worse things that can happen than to make six figures and have limited stress.

As to the OP with the homework policy, if it works for you and your family I think that is fine. The only thing I'd say is that if the teachers are really pushing back, it may be the school doesn't fit your philosophy of school and life for your children. I'll be honest and say "Race to Nowhere" has really made me reevaluate how I handle my kids High School years and I feel very similar to OP. In addition to being a decent student, and a responsible person, I feel they need a chance to explore and be kids.[/quote]
