But you know, there's something about the kids finishing their homework in a given day, working one-on-one, getting all this attention - they go home, they're finished. They don't stall, they don't do their homework in front of the TV.

  • -- Dave Eggers 戴夫·艾格斯

但是你知道,孩子们在某一天完成了他们的家庭作业,一对一的工作,得到所有的关注——他们回家,他们完成了。他们不会拖延,他们不会在电视机前做作业。
