My Daughter’s Homework Is Killing Me (2013)

The worst part isn’t the homework in my opinion. It’s that they have to sit through eight hours of mediocre live performance art every day. That’s the biggest waste of time.

That’s kind of the point. To get them ready for work. In many jobs just being present is half the responsibility. Many jobs have no way to evaluate performance effectively and most jobs don’t reward it. You just need to be better than the bottom 20-30% and you are good

There are clear parallels between school and work, but I don't think school is setup this way purposefully to get them ready for work. I think there has just been a dearth of creative engineering to solve this problem.

They do not have to. If their parents (or parents’ networks) think they can put on better live performance art, they are welcome to.
