Actually you complained about filling out the log as people can't remember to do the reading and should use a post it note instead.
Actually I said “the rest of us” as in, everyone else feeling they have to do it.
So what you are now saying is it literally doesn't impact on you whether these logs are used or not.
Where it impacts is that schools keep using them, despite them being utterly useless, under the mistaken belief the school is achieving something, when all they are doing is putting undue pressure on parents who are unable to do it. It also feeds their belief that doing things like apportioning house points or giving certificates is appropriate for thinks some kids have absolutely no control over.
How would you know what families don’t read to their kids unless you have a reading diary?
I never filled it in. That blank page meant nothing to the teacher because she knew my child could read. It’s also important to remember, you can also read every night with your child and they can still have problems with reading. What’s important is that the teacher knows who can read and I would have thought teachers know this by using that revolutionary method of actually asking a child to read.
You can't seem grasp that some people find a regular reminder helpful. That is certainly odd in my experience
I need a regular reminder to buy milk, to pay a bill, to put the bins out. As a parent of a primary aged child, a reminder to help educate them seems unnecessary. Has the bedtime story really fallen so by the wayside that those who are able to do it simply forget? And frankly, you can’t move these days without someone reminding you about the apparent importance of reading with your children.
