		<description><![CDATA[I am so on to my kids.  I realize that simply asking if they have any homework is like asking how was school today.  I&#8217;m setting myself up to receive a vague, one syllable response or grunt.  It is not their fault.  The problem is we have different ideas about what constitutes homework.  My idea [...]]]></description>
