Speaking to a friend today with DD in reception, she v concerned as her DD would not do it. (As an aside my DC are 23 & 24 & I have had every experience going with homework) I said to her "just don't do it & tell teacher you won't." She said other children bring in computer generated graphs, etc.
I mean, what is going on here? Study after study has shown that homework has no effect on outcomes, but especially for the early years.
The only rationale I can see is that it is yet another outlet for competitive mummyhood " ooo - let's see which mummy can do the best computer-generated homework & pass it off as their child's!"
