My son is 10 (Year 6) and doing well (level 5s etc..)
Last Friday he had homework where he had to find out 10 facts about the Alps and the teacher included some ideas of what to research.
Ds googled and then proceeded to copy and paste 10 sentences off the Internet. They were almost all very technical so incomprehensible to ds and me.
I told ds that I thought that he should have 10 facts that he can explain in his own words and that copy and pasting information that he doesn't understand is pointless.
I did not make him correct his homework as I honestly thought that his teacher would tell him that it was pretty poor but teacher ticked his work and wrote "Good Work " at the bottom!!!
Aibu to think that this is pretty poor form? Or is this typical in schools these days?

To think it's ok for a teacher to tell my son that he could have done better?
