Directgovguidelines are between 1-2 hrs a day for homework for year 9. My daughter gets about 1 hr a week- if that!
Which is the recommended amount of time for year 1/2!
I dont want her to be bogged down with academic studies but as a fairly high achiever i wonder if i should be concerned or contact the school (which i try to avoid for fear of getting known as naggy, interfering with the school), or find her revision books to do? No doubt with her protesting all options.At least if the school distribute homework, she would do it a bit more willingly.
Please give me lots of ideas as i am pro homework but always reluctant to dictate to the school but as s has started g.c.s.es a year earlier than the norm but with what behind her?
