    Get in touch with his Dean or form techer. It is their job to check it out for you and certainly easier than checking with each individual teacher.
    Does he have a homework diary? At our school, all students are issued with one, homework goes in to it and parents and form teachers sign it to say thayt have sighted it.
    I suspect he is getting some homework though...and just can't be bothered....

    You would think that if he was given homework and not doing it that the school would be in contact with you wanting to know the reason why your son hasn't been handing it in.
    My daughter has just started college and I ask her everyday after school when she walks thru the door if she has homework and 90% of the time she has.
    If he thinks that not doing his homework is going to give him good marks towards each subject he is doing then he is wrong. Ask him to show you his books and have a look for yourself then you wioll surely know whether he has been getting homework or attending school for that matter.

    My daughter always has homework and sits up to all hours working on it.

    My son has homework, but he likes his evenings to himself, so he stays in at lunchtimes and after class and does his homework. The result - no homework!

    Our kids are getting excellence in everything, so we let them do as they choose. It would be a different story if things were falling over left-right-and-center, but everything is going great. Spectacularly, actually.

    Quasi, I'd suggest your son is telling you wee cuffers!

    NCEA is not about learning, it's about passing so there's no need for things like homework.

    Once National turn their focus on education, those little shits will have plenty to do.

    Of course hes getting homework I used the same old line myself for years and made my parents believe it. Lock in a room with his school bag and no electrical devices for half an hour to and hour each day and he'll get it done... After a while he'll just accept that thats what he does for that time period of the day. Make sure you "help" him get his priorities right early in life - because trying to change them once hes got on abit in life will be much harder...

    Bollocks on both counts. My son's doing some NCEA credits and there is plenty of homework and frequent assessment that builds planning and self-responsibility skills, very much in the style of a tertiary work programme.

    And, as to your second point, Tolley's the minister - so pfffft. She's a ferking lightweight. I heard her talking on Radio NZ Checkpoint this evening and she's an utter embarrassment.

    The only thing thats embarrasing from a political point of view is the way in 9 short years that labour has fucked up the education system to the point of ruin !!

    Not to mention every single other aspect of the tax payers requirements.
