I've posted off two chapters of my Homework book today. It's the book I said I was always going to write. When I was teaching, parents were always asking me for advice on helping their children with their homework. I'm going to throw in info about the curriculum too - it is always changing... |
I don't know how parents keep up with it. Maths is taught in such a different way nowadays. Plus if any parents have got a son like mine - they probably need a few tips to help their child actually do it. |
