I Need to Whine and Complain About Homework Like a Little Baby...

I completed all of my math homework yesterday, at my parents', so I don't have that to stress over. What I do have is a metric ass-ton of assignments from Mrs. C and I still need to study for my sociology test on Thursday! It's clear that Mrs. C really wants her students to be knowledgeable and skillful when it comes to writing a paper, and I appreciate that, but I still think the workload is fairly ridiculous and inconsiderate; my class must complete, before midterm, ten current events (this entails finding ten magazine articles that relate to our semester topic of "the family in flux," organizing them in a soft binder along with our summary and response to each article); we also have to complete sixteen readings, answer the study questions in our notebooks, and then complete a "reading response sheet" on each reading, which includes: summarizing the article, writing our response, defining at least five vocabulary words in the article, then choosing a quote from the article to explain in detail; the other assignment that we must complete on our own in our notebooks is just twenty journal entries, which I'm already done with. All this is in addition to writing our papers following her unnecessarily thorough process and completing the reading/writing homework assignments she assigns us each class period, for each of which we must answer between twenty to thirty study questions and also complete a reading response sheet. This is no doubt the reason my class has dropped from forty students down to about thirteen, including myself. It's also why when I showed triple_phoenix the amount of work Mrs. C assigns us she just laughed and laughed; her English teacher assigns an absurdly minuscule amount of homework compared to Mrs. C.

I just don't know how that crazy English teacher even finds the time to read all of the assignments we turn in; she claims to actually read everything we turn in, but I don't really buy that.
