My youngest son has a new teacher who doesn't allow children in year 2 to have afternoon playtime on a Friday if they forget their book bag or don't hand in their homework. I'm sure this contravenes government guidelines on play allocations for key stage 1 but can't find the info on the DfE website. It also seems unnecessarily punitive for 6-year olds, who can't necessarily take responsibility for remembering what to bring in when (and harassed parents do sometimes forget...). Am I the only one who thinks this is unreasonable and a bit Stalinist?
