The kids have their work down to a science. They started about 11:30 this morning. It's 12:20 and they are done with their assignments for the day. The school work being sent home is not very challenging (obviously!), and it takes them almost no time to complete it.
Our school district is pretty rough to start with. It's extremely overcrowded due to the oil industry, and I think about 70% or more of the students live below poverty. I saw one of my friends when I was on a walk. She is a teacher, and she said only about 20% of the students are even turning in work. Now the few students who actually attempt to do the work will be even further ahead when we start next year. Makes me sad.
Brinley finished her last final for BYU yesterday. She was so relieved. This morning she joined the boys on the couch and was looking into scholarship opportunities. She is a focused girl.
