Just wondered how much homework your dc have been set for the summer holidays? dc has been set quite a lot - 8 subjects worth in total, most with multiple exercises. I have written a list of what has needed to be done (didn't want to overwhelm dc with the full amount, as even I find it overwhelming) and got dc to spend 5-10 mins at bedtime most evenings doing some (with the odd evening off). Even so, only 2 out of the 8 subjects have been completed so 6 left to do and I simply don't think we'll be able to get it all done by the end of the holidays. 2 of the heavier subjects would require a whole day each to get the tasks completed which feels like a big ask to me. None of dc's friends who are in other schools have been set any homework for over the summer holidays - other than suggesting they do some reading...
