No communication about homework

[sunflower]

Back then in DD1’s primary school, there was a “Homework File” in the booklist and all homework was to be placed in the file. For DD2’s primary school, all her subject teachers ensured students wrote the HW in the student handbook when she was in P1.

Since P1 (in P2 now) my dd has also been recording her homework, things to bring to class &/or any submission of forms for signing, etc in her student handbook. Her teachers will write the necessary on the board and sometimes they just communicate verbally. No matter what forms of comms, she will write it in her handbook. I made it a habit for her to do that since P1, now she even know how to write certain words in short forms, to save time when there’s too many words to write.

Some schools do not give homework, esp for those P1 and P2.

During the parents-teachers meeting, teachers told us they prefer the students to do in school, rather than as homework. becos very often parents will help or to correct the work if s/he write wrongly. Thus, teachers may have the perception that the students understand the lesson.
Best is to talk to the teachers.

my P1 will write down homework in his diary.

he also has a homework file, which i will look through.
i will also look through his bag to see any workbooks. if there are no homework, usually workbooks will be left in school.
if there are holiday homework, test dates etc, the teachers will type out and distribute slips of paper in class. i find this way very efficient and also goodto ensure that the kids don't miss out anything - the CL teacher even stapled those slips onto the diary.

P1 - my gal has to write down homework in their planner.

P2 now - the FT has form a blog in Ask & Learn whereby she will update homework daily on this blog so that parents can monitor.

I think it depends on individual FT. and yes I will highlight this problem to the FT.
