My son at 11 had to count how many times the letter 'e' and 'a' occured in a 250 page book, as did his whole class for homework!!

That's wack. Did he finish it?

 

 No I just told him to count first page and multiply it by the number of pages. 

It was either that or scribble 'fuck of, what a waste of time' in his homework diary :P

 I still have no idea what the homework was meant to achieve.
