To not do the homework,

[rainbowsparkles]

If the teacher isn't even going to look at it? DD(5) is in yr1, she gets 3 items of homework every week, last week she got her usual spellings, a maths sheet and had to write a book review. DD enjoys school and doing her homework, she spent ages doing the book review and was really excited to see what her teacher had said about it, as soon as we got home she pulled her homework book out to have a look and there was nothing on it, not a tick or anything, her little face just crumbled and she said didn't she like it mummy?.
I told her that the teacher must have run out of time and will have a look next week, this isn't the first time she hasn't bothered to look at it.

AIBU to not bother with the homework anymore?

UANBU to do the homework, IMHO 5year olds should only be doing reading and a weekly spelling homework, nothing more.
I told my dc's teachers that would be all they would be doing and they all agreed with me!
I asked why did they hand out more homework and they said
1 many parents demanded it
2 government guidelines
But i do feel sorry for your dd, bless her after all that hard work

Did your DD hand the homework in? I know my DD often 'forgets' and it comes back home in her homework back unseen until she finally remembers weeks later and hands in a huge pile!

Homework is a tricky old business - as peppertree said, many parents demand more while others find it too much.

Marking it can also be a nightmare - yes, I'm a primary teacher, and so flame me, but sometimes I'm slack on the marking. Quite often teachers mark on a rotation, i.e. Thorough marking of say, 8 pupils work one day then another 8 the next. Ti be honest there just aren't enough hours in the day - in my last post I had 33 11/12 yo pupils and marking every pupil's homework plus maths, language and any other pieces daily and with thorough feedback just wasn't possible. I fully agree good marking/feedback is beneficial btw.

It is a shame your DD isn't getting the feedback she needs/wants, especially as she has put so much into it. Maybe write a nice note to teacher asking for feedback on this particular piece saying DD put so much effort into it?

Ty for the responses, It was handed in, it's a book which the teacher puts the marks for the weekly spelling test in, which were in there. I think I will just have a little chat with her teacher on Monday and ask if she could mark the homework that requires alot of work put into it and go from there. I'm not going to bother with any (except the spellings) this weekend unless DD asks as I feel it's a waste of our time.
