In Reply to: O/T school homework posted by TVB on September 22, 2013 at 07:19:37:
As I recall, I never had any homework until I hit the 4th grade. In high school the school system experimented with a different kind of schedule: 70-minute class periods. [It was kinda strange; there was a "diagonal" period. It met 1st period Monday, 2nd period Tuesday, 3rd period Wednesday, and 5th period Friday...so 4th period Thursday was home room period, which was basically a study hall.] The first 35 minutes were supposed to be for instruction, and the last 35 were supposed to be for doing the homework, so that if we encountered a problem we could ask the teacher to explain it better.
Problem was, a lot of the teachers spent the entire 70 minutes on instruction. Homework was a PITA to me, because I had a paper route in the afternoons from 7th grade thru midterm of 9th grade...and my parents still insisted I participate in 4-H, Boy Scouts, and saddle club. After I quit the paper route, I worked in the produce department at the local IGA grocery for awhile. And when I wasn't doing that, I was either mowing grass for my dad's custom mowing business or working at the family's tractor shop.
But I managed to graduate high school with a B average, so I guess I did enough homework to keep the teachers mostly off my back.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
