It is only a GOOD thing if it is highlighted which children are and aren't getting help at home with homework. Teachers can then speak to the childs parents and encourage them to take an active role, and if they don't want to then at least the child can be given extra support whilst at school.

Primary school is the most important stage in a childs education, and I think it's vital that you build on as many different skills as possible whilst at school, both inside and outside of the school atmosphere.

Perhaps I'm just very naive because I loved learning at primary school, and I was a bright child so I didn't have to have any extra help, but I saw people who struggled and I even used to go round to my friends house to help her with her spelling. I've just always seen the importance in it, and it deeply saddens me when other people don't understand that value.
