Yes... our homework policy (in the until-now unused) student diary, states that the year 4 child will be set 20 minutes of homework + 20 minutes of reading per night. The stress that places on teachers to set it, slower kids to achieve it, faster kids to ask for more or disengage, teachers to mark it, parents to deal with it.<br />None of this actually teaches our students ANYthing of value. <br />I sincerely hope your term 4 trial is as successful as my trial was. I am a convert. My kids diaries will be posted again tomorrow or the next day. They speak volumes. Good luck, good sir.Richard Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059507941321549095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518913311545282450.post-59993605178787331542012-10-02T23:01:23.592+10:002012-10-02T23:01:23.592+10:00Hi Richard.

Ours is weekly, so the day to day issues you referenced don't exist, but am looking forward to my Term4 trial.wholeboxndicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991423454771729668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518913311545282450.post-69814816355882357592012-10-02T22:36:55.429+10:002012-10-02T22:36:55.429+10:00I've just added a poster I made for that very ...I've just added a poster I made for that very purpose, Bryan.
