Homework Troubles...

Why is it, that they want to do "homework" before the days of school are here, and then when school time is here you have to make them do their work? Here you see Ashlyn reading her weekly chapter book for school, and Meredith "reading" her book too. The catch is that it is 9pm and Ashlyn has been fighting all afternoon about reading her book. She is a great reader, but said the book was boring and she didn't want to read it. Lucky for her we had church and she got a few hours of a break, but as soon as we returned home....reading she began! I dread the school years to come if every afternoon is going to be a challenge with homework. I guess we need to find a system that works, and get her excited about the years to come...because homework is only going to get worse!!
