Ds has his first homework from his new school. Due to tonsillitis and me being off the rails (dperession) over the last 2 weeks or so, we haven't really touched his book bag and I've discovered tonight that he has homework sue in tomorrow. We got straight onto it after the park this afternoon and he has completed all but the last sheet and a half of work.
He is past concentrating on the rest and I feel it is unreasonable of me to make him finish a week's homework in one night.
Thing is, another boy said as we were in the playground that he'd have to stay in at playtime tomorrow if it wasn't finished and ds seems to verify this is the case.
Do I send a not with homework exlaining that I do not wish for him to be penalised for my issues?
I won't go into my views on homework, suffice to say I generally disagree with it but ensure it is done because it isn't great to be too non-conformist. Geez though! These work sheets are badly presented, and thought out and ruddy tedious. I have written a not at the top of one section that says "I feel this section is confusing and badly explained" because I think it is shoddy that work should be o ambiguous and difficult for an adult to fathom.
