My dd is absolutely hating Yr 6. Its a fairly academic school with a great reputation but they have literally gone on a bout nothing else since September. They still do games and Pe but apart from that there seems to be no enrichment and it's just relentless work. On top they have homework every night and she has an extra maths hour after school once a week.
She says it's boring and dreads every day. She says every day.is the same and the teacher is really strict and demands really intense focus all day.
I work.in a school and the Yr 6 are preparing for Sat's but not on this same.level and the teacher mixes it up with some fun activities.
Dd is about average academically and has always enjoyed school, its seems really sad that her last year is making her so unhappy.
I just wondered if other schools are like this.
