Most kids have to do numerous questions to latch onto a math concept.

Are you 7, 10 or 11?

I think people are missing the perspective of this whole thing. A 10 year old kid should not have 2 hours of homework every single night unless they are goofing off all day long in class. This "agreement" puts the onus on the kids to get their work done in class, and the onus on the teachers to grade them for that work accordingly.

The article also clearly states that this agreement is NOT for their 18 year old high-school student.
