DD is in Y7 and has been overwhelmed with homework since September, generally two or three pieces every day. I explained to her when she was still in primary that this would happen and that it's a good thing because it will prepare her for GCSE study, etc. I've made sure she does every piece of homework she's been set and she's now in a good routine where she more or less gets on with it without being asked each evening.
However, am I wrong to expect some kind of feedback on this homework? I checked her French book recently and she's over halfway through filling it in (an A4 exercise book) with work. Not just homework, this is her class book too. In all this work there is one comment from the teacher, right at the beginning, that she would prefer DD to write in pen, rather than pencil. Fair enough, but not a word about the content of the work, just the remark on the writing implement.
Her science book is the same. They have fairly long lessons (100 minutes each) so they get loads done but there is barely any feedback in her science book either. There is the occasional 'wow!' but that's about it.
I've asked DD if she gets verbal feedback on her homework (in case I was missing something) and she said no. They hand it in, it comes back the same. She's even been set the same piece of homework twice in science this term!
In the front of her Learning Diary (or whatever they call them) there's an agreement between school, parent and student. We both had to sign it to say we agreed with the school rules. One of these was to complete homework and hand it in on time. One of the school ones was to mark and give feedback on homework.
Am I right to think a) some teachers aren't upholding school's part of the agreement and b) that it's setting a bad example to students to expect them to stick to an agreement that you don't stick to yourself?
Is it worth me speaking to her Family Tutor about this? I don't want to come across as one of those interfering parents, but this is really annoying me now.
