DS is scatty and hates homework. WOuld much prefer to play on Wii or watch TV. It is a constant battle to get him to do homework. I have to be on his case all the time. He is academically very bright but the teacher told me today and said it is becoming a real problem as he hasn't been doing much homework since Sept. The school has a relaxed attitude to homework and this is the first year that it has been consistently given although.
I am torn between thinking that homework is not essential and can turn off an otherwise able child and that it encourages discipline.
She wants to talk to us about it on Parents eve and I would welcome any thoughts advice.
