Do you let your DC do homework (on laptop) in their bedroom?

Or only downstairs where you can keep an eye on what they're doing?

I've got controls on the computers etc, bought them each a light portable laptop. I do get sick of the endless homework related clutter that mounts every evening and is never properly cleared away. We so often eat our dinner on a table that's scattered with books, stationery, laptops etc.

But if I send them up to their rooms I feel like I'm limiting our 'togetherness'. Not sure I'm making sense but both get tons of homework, their school is crazy.

Thank you

Mine do theirs upstairs on their laptops and they are in year 10, I've never had to ask them to do their homework, they just get on with it...DS is another kettle of fish!

Dd does hers upstairs, often sat at a computer desk

Nope, screens downstairs only in our house. If they took them upstairs there would be more faffing than work getting done (by their own admittance).
