I feel the other thread has run its course, so here is another one...
DD1 (P3) gets usually very little homework (which is fine), but it is ALWAYS the same week in, week out, AND it NEVER gets checked, let alone commented on. So, the question is... what is the point? Obviously she loses interest in doing it (and so would/do I).
There is certainly a pattern because in the previous years it was the same.
When you ask the teacher she invariably says that everything if fine.
Some schools in our council are doing away with homework altogether. That would be OK as such, but homework is the ONLY link that the family has with the school and with what happens in the classroom (except some little morsels of information that DD graciously gives us from time to time). So, on a wider point, do the parents have the right to know what goes on at school or should that be seen as a privilege?
