Slightly put out to discover that (alongside spellings and times tables) the DCs' school is now setting homework tasks intended as a 'collaboration' for the whole family, which is optional but heavily encouraged.
As a family we are engaged with schoolwork, don't believe education stops at the classroom door etc but this feels like a bit of an imposition. DH and I both work full-time so weekends are our family time.
DS1 is pretty enthused though so hopefully it won't be too much of a battle!
