Homework?

**Quasievil** · 23rd March 2009, 13:53

Hi Yall parents out there

Hey Im keen to know if any of your kids are getting homework, reason is one of our 14 years old son's in form 4 (fuck knows what it is in year) simply does not get homework, he always says no when I ask him if there is any, and I appaulled that in the 4th form there is no study practices being put in place via way of set homework every night.

So please are we the only ones or what is your situation ??

Cheers

No, they all say that. It's the standard answer teenaged (and older) male children give their parents. He may have posted it in the hedge on the way home from school (or he will if you confront him about it...)

Do'nt bother asking him , ask his teacher.

They all get maths etc books to take home, if he reckons he has none to do just make him work out of one of those. Tell him it's mandatory that he does some homework no matter what it is.

If he did, perchance, happen to have homework he might lighten to the idea of hitting two birds with one stone.

Nah no-one gets homework anymore,

Im 6th form!

I dont get homework.

And homework i do get i just do in class after my other work!

Ask yourself, does he pass? If yes RELAX! If no? Get him a tutor or ask for extra work from his teacher! I do that for Maths and it makes my crazy maths teacher so happy! I still dont understand it though

Bollocks.

You get assignments all through highschool that you cannot complete during school hours, you need to do them at home.

You dont get homework if you dont go to school...

That old chest nut. I never got home work right through high school.
I turned out alright from it.
I think.

**driftn** · 23rd March 2009, 14:17

Oh in case you couldn't work out. YEShome work is being given out.

MY boys school says " all students should be doing half hour to hour each nite of either homework or revision"

My daughter is in the same year. She gets "a little bit" from each teacher = "Shit loads" (her words) check with his teachers - usually you can send them an email. Ask what assignments they have and what the deadlines are. If he really doesn't have any then set him some - reading, or some other shit that he's having trouble with. Teachers have that info too!

Currently i get a page of Maths from a homework book each day, but 90% of the time that's done in the same period as it is issued.
Economics is the same as maths's
I've got a History assignment which revolves around studying someone who died in WW1. Finding their regiment and where they died, how etc. That is all done in class, using computers and we get a field trip to auckland museum. Thats half my years work

Geography is similar to history,
I dont get homework for english
And i do P.E as my other subject.

Remember I do NCEA, it is a piece of piss.
School C was a million times harder because you had to try.

4th forms all about rugby and girls....
