Quote from Ray in Homework
Miss Purcell: We could really use you. If we're going to reduce the fifth-grade workload, we're going to have to tell them what to cut. Ray: You keep sayin' "we." I'm quite a busy fellow. Miss Purcell: Well, you have almost a week. We just need you to read through the current curriculum and figure out where you feel it's redundant. I can't tell you how valuable your input is going to be. Ray: But you see, I'm not a teacher, I'm not... Miss Purcell: When the teachers bring this up, the board just thinks we're trying to get out of work. But they know that's not true when it comes from a parent. [smiles]
