Karen, playing devil's advocate here - teachers have to exert authority in the classroom. Your daughter has learned the price that she has to pay for not doing the work set. She won't forget the way she felt when the teacher told her off and will remember to get her homework done on time in future. Maybe the teacher was a bit hard on your daughter because he/she doesn't want your girl turning out like the children you mentioned that don't do their homework on a regular basis. |

There's more to education than schoolwork. |

On the subject of holidays in term time. My Grandson's (all now at senior school) school have a blanket ban on holidays in tern time. Nobody is given permission to take their child out of school. Mind you previously when they have been kept off for holidays they have always had homework to take with them.. They need to do this extra work if they are not to feel left behind when they go back.

Karen, I would approach the teacher and ask why she could not have been a bit understanding as she had not had the homework the same time as the others and you had gone to the trouble of writing a note as well. It does seem to me that they get too much homework, again it is all down to performance results etc. The only thing is, the teacher has the upper hand, if you make too much fuss she might take it out on your daughter.

my daughter (8)has homework every week,spellings and maths.they get this on a monday and it has to be in on friday.this week my daughter was off school monday afternoon so didn't get the homework.being miss forgetful she didn't bring it home till wednesday.anyway she did all the spellings but didn't get all the maths done so i wrote anote to the maths teacher explaining this and saying she'd bring it in on monday. my daughter came home from school and said the teacher shouted at her'thats no excuse,so you'll have to go to the detention room at lunchtime to do it'. now my daughter does her homework every week,never late and i no for a fact that there are children that week in week out don't do it. i think the teacher has been really harsh,what do you think |
