School Swots or School Rebels? Have your kids done their school homework yet?

[Sparkler1]

Following on from the thread last week re: How much homework does your child have? Have they actually done it yet?

DD has a French project to do and we have been so busy going for days out and pottering about at home, it's almost been forgotten.

Going to cinema this morning then I think we are going to have to get our heads down this afternoon. Sigh! Otherwise it will be the usual last minute rush the night before she goes back to school.

C'mon own up!!!

All done here >

DD is only year 2, so not too much to do - a 4-page thing of maths problems/games, plus the usual list of spellings to learn and 10 sentences using the words in the spellings to write. She's done most of the maths and a couple of sentences, but that's it so far. Will aim for a couple more sentences today, I think.

[shouldbedoingsomethingelse]

but then again it was only "keep a food diary for a week" for year 5 child, nothing for year 3 DC, 1 piece for year 7 DC (she desperately wanted more!!) and nothing for year 1 DS.


When I say nothing, we do read everyday but I dont count that as homework as we've always done it!

DS3 has done his. DS2 didn't get any. DS1 has heaps to do on his reading project and a lot of Latin to learn, which he's trying to put off, and I'm trying to stop him.

Sorry - you mean your kids get homework during the holidays??? Ours stop homework a few days before they break up!

I am slightly worried that ds says he had no homework for easter....

Am I being taken for a fool?

Search his bags FMV and then check with another parent!
Dd was charged with "bring back a postcard from somewhere you visited", so we've done that.
Ds is prevaricating for England over his "write a story around one of the paintings we saw on our visit to the National Gallery last term". Why I don't know, as he is full of ideas about Intergalatic Whistlejacket, the Mighty Horse from Space...

Just sat dow to help DD with her homework and she's really not interested. How do you make a 7 year old do a French project whne she doesn't want to?

Kids are at MILs for the week. MIL is an ex-primary teacher, so naturally I send them off with their uncompleted homework in a folder, and it comes back all nicely completed in time for Monday morning.

My ex-teacher MIL's sole interaction with her dgc's education is to snipe at it from an uninformed perspective, Frogs.

DD in year six, so not only did she get usually homework, she also got a pack of revision papers for SATS, with the instructions to revise any areas that we thought needed help. We did one each of maths & english with no problem, so we are not doing the rest!

ds1(yr2) claims no homework but as he picked up the a detention on the last day of term for not handing in H/W I think he may be rebelling.
Actually, in his shoes I would do the same!
The weather is just not right for H/W!

DD 1 and 3 have finished theirs [swat face]
