Hello all

My son is currently in year 9 and I am currently giving him 1 hour and a half of revision then I let him go on his PlayStation. Some say this is too much but I think this is about right because of how important his GCSE's are. What do others think?

Thank you all for your opinions but surely it is better to get him into the right rhythm so when he gets to year 11 he has a head start.

He is also revising the stuff that he gets in class, mainly English, maths and science as he has already started the course for these subjects

Ott, not off

What on top of his homework issued by the school? What are you making him revise? It's a bit off, no?

Revising? Poor kid, what will you make him do in year 11? I have a yr9 and I think you're insane.

My dd is in year nine, she does zero hours of revision a night. She does her homework , like all her classmates.

Year 9? And you’re making him do 1.5 hours of revision every night for exams he’ll take in 2021?

Has he even covered the gcse syllabus? Does he know what to revise? Will he even remember it in 2.5 years?

You’re post is all I. Your son is 14, what does he think?

Why isn't he sorting out his own revision?
