Yeah, maybe my response sounded a bit terse and for that I apologize. It just touched a nerve, which is unusual because I don't live in the US (where there seems to be undue government influence on education) and I don't have any kids yet! And I agree with you about homework. So sorry for sounding like a hard-ass. I didn't mean to disrespect you either. I just sounded like a jerk... :-)

With regards to your comment on kids playing in dirt, I wholey agree. Some mothers freak out and keep their kids (and their homes) scrubbed like operating theatres. This actually does them more harm than good.
