Children should have homework, it maybe seen as a necessary evil but it's the best time to drum the basics into their heads.
I can't believe that some kids start primary school without even the basics, they should be able to count to at least 50, know their alphabet and be able to spell their name and be able to recognise colours. If they can do that you have given them a good grounding, if the basics aren't there they are starting way behind.
