So this is very topical - Do you think primary school kids should have homework - fill out our quick poll now...

[JustineMumsnet]

So inspired by this recent thread we thought we'd do a quick poll. Please please can you fill it in you lovely people, at less than 5 mins it's way less homework than usual. (Plus if you do you'll be entered into this week's comp to win a Dyson!)

i don't need a new dyso butmy washing machine has just exploded. can i win one of those instead please?

that's my thread, but i can't enter as my dd is younger than 4!

I've completed it and didn't like the amount questions either. I'm not so much anti homework as anti too much homework, and especially those bloody projects!

I can't win anything anyway because I'm overseas, but I wouldn't want a Dyson anyway. If someone could ship me a Henry now

Done

I wanted to complete it as I'm a teacher, but dd isn't at school yet.

Just for the record: No homework except reading for any children aged 4 - 11. Spellings are a waste of time.

Yes, I've done it, but I only think reading for 4 - 11 too, no spellings or tables.

Would be very happy to get a new Dyson as my current one has broken bits. And it's lime and purple. Or VC, which I'm assuming stands for Veuve Cliquot rather than Victoria Cross

done three times for each of the children that count.

Have done
I don't want a rubbishy dyson either

I do need a new carpet brush for my Miele however

I think teachers can complete Littlefish - just answer from prospective of your class. (don't tell ann ).

i dont want a dyson either

even if my dds didnt get homework i would be doing reading writing sums etc with them so might as well do it simultaneously with what they are doing at school and use the same books they do at school

You don't have undecided as an option, I don't know if I think kids should have HW or not.

All done ,not that I think dysons are much use.

All done and I could do with a new Dyson. Is it the ball one??

Done it

I've done it twice. Once for a 6 yo and once for a 8 yo, I couldn't be arsed to do it for the 10 yo.

What different forms they were! Leads me to the conclusion that small amounts are fine, but not LOTS because the 8 y-o form was a downer.

Calling KerryMum (and other Irish Mumsnetters): yes, you can win the Dyson if you live in Ireland.

But only if you fill in survey (nag, nag)

You can do it once for every child, KerryMum
