Lets Discuss Homework

How do you feel about the amount of home work your kids get ?

In the latter years at school the amount of homework my kids got was horrendous, it seemed as though they were compleating half their class work at home.

I was worried at one point as it seemed the kids never had any time to relax or have a social life, boy was i glad when it was over .

Im not sure what its like now but it was a pretty stressful time for us xxx

My son never had an extreme amount of homework. Thinking back, neither did I. I guess England is the same as here in the US. They're shoving so much info into young kids minds, trying to set them up for a good position in life. Having a High school education alone, like myself, isn't good enough any longer.

So true bill, luckily they are involving work experience whilst still in school these days, setting up apprenticeships and allowing the kids off school to a work release a couple of days a week or to a collage.

It definately gives the kids a better chance at learning a skill with hands on experience xxx
