The last two weeks Jonathan didn't have homework because Maryland public schools administer the Maryland State Assessments (MSA) - you know, the report cards on how well the teachers and schools are teaching our children.
Jonathan: We don't have homework the next two weeks because of MSAs.
Me: This is yet another proof that God is good!
Jonathan: What!?!? God doesn't give MSAs!
Me: No, not directly, but Who is ultimately in control of all things?
Jonathan: Touché
Where does he get his words?

The two week reprieve on homework is now past. And Mom is hating life. Between holidays, snow days and MSAs, Jonathan has not had a routine of homework. I'm not ready to fight this week knowing I'll be fighting again in two weeks - after a week off for Spring Break.
Me: "Fine. I'll email Ms. Gheen and tell her that you are not going to do homework."
Jonathan:(Is half way up the stairs to play his PS2.)
Me: I guess you won't be getting those straight A's that you wanted.
Jonathan: (Stopped in the middle of the stairs.) "What do you mean, it's just two assignments?"
Me: And tomorrow it will be two more and those zeros start adding up and your grade goes from A to B.
Jonathan: Drags himself back to the kitchen table. "Fine! I'll do it, but I won't like it!"
