Title: school homework
Post by: Richie London on 24 September 2009, 21:50:19
my son has 6 pages of questions on science for homework, he has been back at school for 2 weeks now and hasnt even been taught any of this. is it normal for schools to give such work out before they teach you it. i think its rather disgusting that he will get a detention if he doesnt complete it by tomorrow. and i will be ringing the school tomorrow about it. even i dont know most of it  >:( >:(

They may be setting questions to find out what the class knows, or does not know, as a starting point :-/

I think you are correct Mike :y :y

No doubt they are encouraging the kids to enquire, research, or just write down what they think the answers should be before they start teaching the subject.  Once they have taught the children on this subject, they will ask the children to fill in the answers again to highlight how much they have learnt.  I believe that is standard teaching practice. :y :y :y

Agreed Lizzie..

Research on a specific subject for a children is important .. They try to teach you a way to develop yourself also on your own..  And after the schools finished there are many subjects you need to learn yourself..  :y

I had a chemistry teacher.
She used to give exams with lessons that were not explained yet.
Of course nobody could do anything about her cause she was "messing" with the headmaster :P
Ah those were the days

its his first year in science and he hasnt got a clue about anything, he does know how to do embroidery and cooking though. ive spoken to the school, they have a long year ahead and a lot to learn. and obviously the school cannot teach everything to them so some things they should be able to find out themselves without being taught by the teacher. so when they take there exams and the questions are on certain parts of the subject they have not been taught or know nothing about then i guess they dont get good results.

No Child with access to google should ever be stuck with homework.

 if he has to look it up/ research it himself he will learn

I'm digressing here, but one of my english teachers used to lean over you while you worked and cradle your head between her breasts! :D   It would have been delightful but for the fact her breath stank!!  :(  Times sure have changed, and not just the work either, these days you hear of teachers having it off with pupils all the time!  :o  Mind you i'm probably just jealous it never happened to me  ;D ;D ;D
