My mom’s smoking crack all night. And the guys she is with are all very noisy. Do I still have to do my schoolwork?

If you can’t learn reading, writing and arithmetic in six hours, adding more hours of homework probably won’t help. The education system has failed the students for years. The “Why Johnny Can’t Read” book, published years ago, reported on the inferior methods of teaching as the problem. It has only gotten worse. If you look at textbooks from the early 1900s, they are about 1/2 inch thick and are used for the whole year. Now they have huge confusing texts for the same subject. There is so much wrong with public schools and not much hope of fixing it since the teachers are idiot Democrats for the most part.
