That was my standard reply when anyone hassled me about how easy teachers had it, what with all the holidays and everythingThe response was always, ALWAYS something along the lines of "Bugger off - not for that money/the way kids behave today etc etc". I just get really pissed off when people get stuck into teachers and yet they're not prepared to put their hand up and do the job themselves. It's a bloody hard job and I take my hat off to anyone who can do it more than a few years. "Walk a mile...", I say.

"I's no' a bobike (motorbike) - i's a scooter!" - MsKABC's son, aged 2 years.
We do have it easy! We work 9-3 and get morning tea AND lunch! We have 12 weeks holiday a year with NO work to do!Oh, and no one ever comes to check that we are doing the right thing!
I teach year 2/3 (6 and 7 year olds) and they get homework. But I still (it is week 8 now) have parents asking me why the kids don't have homework because the kids are telling them that they aren't given any. They hide their reading books and I spend a Friday lunch time following it all up. I only do it because I think it is important for them to be getting into the routine of doing their homework.
If you want your son to be doing some extra work at home, go to the book shop and buy a revision guide. That way you have some form of control over it, and he will probably get more out of it.
High School teachers don't spend as much time with the children as we do in primary, so parent support is just as important with homework as it is when they are the age of my children.
