teacher and unmarked work

[Gardeningwithdcs]

DS is in Year 10, and DD is in Year 8. They have the same teacher for a core subject.

Both DCs bring exercise books home and they haven't been marked since October also DD has done two pieces of assessed writing, only it hasn't been assessed. DS appears to have been reading the class text forever and complains its boring as he's already read it at home over the summer holidays.

Wibu to ask the teacher about this?

I cover for a teacher once a week who does zero marking. I have no idea how he gets away with it! Kids were when I marked their work at home and brought it back the following week for them. First time they've ever had comments or feedback!

My husband is head of a British school in Qatar. All his departments from FS to Y13 are checked fortnightly. He said that at least half termly is generally ok but not great.
