During most evenings I have a quick look at the websites of our local newspapers. This article on the benefits (or not!) of giving children homework caught my eye.
Homework
Speaking as a parent, I see quite a negative impact on very young children if the homework is unstructured and poorly planned. In both my daughters' cases the homework was carefully planned and helps prepare them for secondary school. Our girls have had to learn to plan their week's activities and prioritise their time accordingly.
