Often times when I check Drews homework I catch silly mistakes that he makes because he doesn't actually "Read" the questions. He assumes that he knows the answer to a story problem because it looks like a previously answered question. Many times he guesses right, but sometimes he gets tricked. For example, for weeks in his math homework he was asked to identify how many pairs of socks. Well tonight the question asked how many toes would fit into the socks all together. Drew didn't read it and wrote 6 instead of counting the toes. I got after him, "Drew I don't know how many times I have told you that you need to READ the instructions before you solve the problem."
So then later I was making some dinner and needed to open a package of cheese. I grabbed the scissors and cut open the package . . .
Oh Drew . . . I know where you get it from . . . :) I guess I should try and pay attention to instructions myself! I wish I could say that I have never done this before but . . .
