I've posted before on here about my ds' reception class. The school is just a local state school but they are rated outstanding by ofsted and it seems to have gone to their heads.
DS and his classmates seem to have a very formal day, they do loads of writing...he gets homework every day, which is what I've posted on here about before, he gets loads of homework every day, and it's most often VERY boring worksheets, A3 sheets of EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE or MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM etc etc etc.....
Please help me, I know when I go in the teacher is going to be 'sniffy' if not worse about ds, as we don't often return the homework; we do what ds wants to, but he's exhausted in the evenings, so we do what we can during our mornings before school...ds still can barely write his name, and he can't read, and he doesn't count beyond 20. His 'To mum' on his mothers day card was discernible only to my own eye, I think to others it looks a page of scribble......
His understanding is great and I really don't have any worries about him, I feel he will get it all but he simply isn't interested in writing at the moment...
Can anyone reassure me that their child is at the same stage in reception, or is ds really a bit behind????? I want to feel confident when I see the teacher, but at the moment she and some of the more competitive parents are wearing me down!
