I am 38 years old. My school days are long gone. I seriously resent having to spend my evenings doing their homework.
I don't mean helping, I don't mean guiding, I mean doing. The level of support they need is so high that I am basically just spoon feeding them the answers.
I don't see the point in doing this. I don't see the point in the teachers marking my homework! And so when I've got to actually do it, I say so. There was no point them doing this because they weren't able to do it and there's no point submitting my work to you.
but they get detentions for homework not done! So my choices are do it for them or let them have a detention.
I'm going to raise it because I think it's ridiculous to expect me to do their homework for them with them sitting at the side of me (or not as the case may be)
How would you put it?
I'm thinking of asking why they are setting homework that is not at an appropriate level for them. Asking what is the point of asking for homework that they can't do. What would you say?
