This is just something I have been pondering.
My dd has just finished year 7. She has done very well. Yes, I think she is reasonably bright (well, I would say that, wouldn’t I !! ) but I think some of it is down to me really supporting her learning. Part of the reason was that she went from a primary where there was never any homework, not even before SATS, so she proper homework and having to revise at home was all new to her. So I would sometimes loo, at her homework and helped her to revise for tests.
I am sure I will be doing less of that as time goes on, but I suspect I will continue to keep an eye on her school work and offer to “test” her, etc before tests and exams. However, I know that there are some parents who don’t get involved at all. Maybe it depends on your child’s personality...
What is your approach?
