Just had a letter from school saying that if children fail to complete hwk they will be asked to do it at lunchtime. Which is a detention basically. Dd is 5! I can't believe they can put a 5 yo in detention because she didn't complete hwk - surely it's our fault if she doesn't do it - not hers? I wouldn't mind but the hwk is MINDNUMBING. I am a teacher and I think the things we do at home are more valuable than - for example - writing out all the numbers up to 100 so sometimes she does it sometimes it gets left.
Does anyone know if this is becoming standard practice? Or am I right to be so cross?
I am inclined to write to the school and would ideally like to back it up with something other than just me whinging!
