Just looked in my daughter's homework book as usual to see what her teacher has set for the week..only to be somewhat taken aback that there is a "sleep diary" for this week. It say's on the same piece of paper that "we have been learning in Science this week about the importance of sleep etc" and then it has a list of the days..Thursday through to next Wednesday (when the hw is usually collected). It asks them to put down for each night incl the weekend what time they went to bed and what time they woke the following morning..that's for a whole week. Then it asks her to list what day she slept the longest! On the otherside of the same sheet of paper she has to draw a plan of her bedroom and also it asks if she has a favourite toy she takes to bed and/or a favourite story. My dh did not like the idea of this hw at all..he says it is prying and overstepping the mark. She is in Yr2 btw..her other teacher never even set homeowrk hardly at all! So this has come as a surprise! Is this the norm for some teachers? Can't help but think she is being nosey..what are your thoughts please!
