My DD is now in year 2, this week we have been given a letter regarding homework tasks. I am a bit shocked at the amout of homework a 6 year old is expected to do, she has a weekly phonics task which takes about half an hour, 3 lots of maths tasks to do which have to be done on certain nights of the week, plus the usual reading and spellings. Also the teachers set tasks online on the schools intranet.
I dont recall having any set homework at that age and to be honest I think it is way too much.
Is this usual and if so how do your children cope?
