Homework while on holidays?
-
We have never brought work along during overseas vacation. It would not be possible to do anything even if we did since nobody would have mood for work. My recommendation is to let your son enjoy the vacation focusing on new experiences and new sights. My husband and I believe it is important to work hard and play hard so during vacation, we never ask our son to do any work. He will usually bring a story book along in case he wants to read or be kept occupied in between our activities. Funz’ idea of keeping a journal during a trip is good too. Kid gets to practise writing and also keeps a record of the trip.

thank you for your suggestions!! We r going on the 3rd week of the holidays, so if he has not completed his homework by then, we will have to bring it along… I’ve prepared travel journals for them, with Q n A and simple activities to occupy their time as well as to sneak in some general knowledge… hopefully it will also serve as a memento for the trip.

We always bring storybooks along. Kids can read while waiting eg. to board plane or when parents are shopping
Didn’t bring homework though. Most hotel rooms are quite dim with orange light, not ideal for doing homework. During the day when out travelling, troublesome to look for table to write -
suggest don’t bring homework la; bring storybooks or educational games or something.

I won’t bring homework if going on group tour (cos no time to do even if u bring). But if I am doing free and easy, then i will bring along activity books and game book like shokudo.

just like we adults would never bring work on holidays…i would leave all homework and revision books at home when on holiday with son.
usually, before we leave for a trip, i would get him to finish all his homework, so that it’s totally stress-free for him when he is back from the trip… -
What’s the point of going for holiday if you bring their homework along? Might as well stay at home…I believe in study hard, play hard!
