Re: Should Homework Be Scrapped?
And to add to that, I just thought of a lovely scenario of what is wrong with someone else doing that for you.
Imagine you send your young toddler to the child minders, not such a strong speaker yet because daddy cant be bothered, and she thinks it'd be nice to teach your chil the word 'Mummy' with a picture book. Woah and behold, the child associates the lady holding baby as the child minder and thinks SHE'S mummy.
Then comes the confusion and upset when they're having to be taught NOT to do that, when initially saying the word was praised.
Pretty extreme but some youngsters have to spend more time with their child minders than their parents. When you end up with a 14yr old who goes off the rails because they have a poor relationship with you because they think theyre a burden when they ask for help with school, you'll know why.
