Okay, so I'm a nanny and yes alright Boy1 goes to a private prep, and yes he's in his third year, but this evening I have finally had enough with homework!
He has a club on Thursday nights so after a snack I have a 45 minute turn around on homework before he has to go back out. Boy1 is 6 1/2 years old and tonight homework was, Maths: 8 sums (normal) and SIX word problems (normally two) which have to be answered with a vertical sum and a sentence.
Reading: eight pages of ORT stage 8 (normal)
Spelling: four spelling words (normally three) written out three times each in best handwriting plus two sentences each with an "interesting" opening word and containing some of his spellings.
We did not finish on time, so now when he gets back I will have to do a shower, sort his dinner and finish his homework with him in the fifteen minutes before supper and the lead up to bed time.
Every week it's been getting harder and harder to get it all done in time. He hates and and is starting to drag his feet.
I know nothing can be done, but please does anyone else think this is totally crazy?! Thankfully Friday is no homework night but this is every other day of the week.
