I have no idea where I stood relative to my mom in the number of assignments in school once I got to about 4th grade and on, but she commented many times on how much more difficult and time-consuming they were.

She didn't go to college so there's no comparison to be made, but even as an undergrad she was amazed at the amount of time and effort I had to put into classes.

When you factor in the amount of time she spent working at a job, however, she comes out way ahead on time spent working in the general sense. Academically, however, that doesn't seem to have been the case for her and I.

Finely, I'm convinced that it is crucial to learn by trial-and-error to build character! Well there definitely is some truth behind it.
