Have read some old threads on primary school homework. My Yr 6, 10 yr old gets quite a bit now. She has been getting homework for years, several nights a week. This is the norm in most primary schools; is an expectation they do it. She is not high performing at school but average and consciencious. She abhors homework and it is rare not to have a scene at some level because she asks for help then doesn't like the help given! Same, sometimes worse with DH. Leaving it till last minute and having a before school high stress attack is most favoured. Not unusual to end up doing maths for her in desperation just so can get her to school. It sounds pathetic when I write it down but we have tried all sorts. She is generally a very lovely girl, helpful etc but I think it's her attitude to learning. She gets herself in a state before she has even looked at it. Hoping she will grow out of this. Anyone with similar experience to share? Any groups/www giving support for this? Thinking of looking at starting something locally.
