On the Today Radio programme this morning. Kirstie Allsopp and Steve Chalk claiming that getting primary school children to do homework, actually damages them, mentally, and fails to give them any educational advantage over children who aren't given homework. And then claiming that this is widely validated by research.
Having a six year old Grandchild who is given homework, I was interested. Considered Allsopp, and have done due diligence on Chalk since the broadcast. Thought, and think that it is tosh, but am generally wrong. For me, it is like the poster the other day who claimed a subjective opinion, was universally taken to be the truth! Did anyone else hear this? And any general observations most welcome. (Not sure if Amirs kit is up to testing this "truth"!)
