I am a teacher (although secondary) and have a huge respect for primary teachers. However my dd has been back a few weeks now and does 2 pieces of homework a week as well as her reading. She works very hard on these and I am quite dissapointed to see that all she gets is a tick. No comment, no merits no reward or advice on how to improve.
I do work a little too hard but I teach approximately almost 300 students and once a fortnight they all get detailed feedback on one piece of homework. I am not expecting a lot but some form of feedback would be good. DD is quite disheartened that she works so hard and yet gets no more than a tick. Her homework planner is also never signed by her teacher. She sees me mark my books and wonders why she is not getting comments, stickers etc as well. Of course I have not seen her clasbooks but I would have thought that her homework books and planner would be a good way to communicate back to me how she is doing and how I can help her improve.
Do you see evidence of feedback from primary work? Am I expecting too much?
