Not only that, before we got back, I was working like mad on homework because we had gone to Florida the week before and I had to cram all break's worth of homework into like four days.

But you are not alone. My grandkids have assignments during holidays. It makes me feel like a dinosaur.

What grade did you teach? I didn't get Friday homewework or break homework when I was in elementary school, but I'm in high school now.
