Conversation with kids today:
Me: "Take a rest." (J's ankle has been hurting from soccer and we were kicking around the ball.)
J: "Rest? There is no rest. Rest is homework. It's eat, sleep and lots of homework. And repeat."
Me: "What about your sister?"
J: "Soccer soccer soccer. I Love Lucy. Fool around. And a little bit of homework. Eat and sleep. More sleep than me. Repeat."
M: "NO! I have to do an hour and a half of Aleks."
J: "That's an hour and a half A WEEK." then calculates in her head..."That's 13 minutes a day! I would love 13 minutes a day of homework, even an hour and a half per day! And I would love to get as much sleep as you."

There seems to be an inbalance of homework between schools. That's quite apparent.
