He normally tries to finish his homework in school in-between classes while waiting for the teacher, but there are times, the workload is extremely heavy! I really wonder why kind of education system is the government instilling into the kids. I mean, he's only in standard one! Hmm.. maybe I'm too laid back cos I remember not doing much homework in my primary school days.
Do I have a choice? Unfortunately, I don't really have one as private school is not within my means, and this is the only school I feel is more suitable for Brendan. Besides, he's coping quite well and doing quite well in his studies as well. In fact, he even enjoy doing his homework! sigh!
He used to have difficulty doing his homework when he first started primary school. Now, he doesn't need any guidance as he's used to it and would normally finish his homework before he reaches home. If he can't finish them in school, he will proceed to take out all his homework books the moment he reaches home and will want to finish them as fast as possible way before dinner and showering.
I have to always remind him that dinner and shower should come first before homework, but he's so engrossed in his homework until I have to start nagging at him to leave his homework and do it later. I'll tell him that it is ok to continue it the next morning if he can't finish.
What about your kids? Are they heavily laden with homework too?

I guess you can just relax if he enjoys it, the problem really starts if he whines about it or takes forever to finishes it. That is much much more worse so better thank your lucky stars. ;)
He is sooo hardworking....and looks like not having any stress....
wah...u are scaring me now!
Looks like he will be the studious kind.
mumsgather, oh, he does complain about it once in a while esp when there's too much writing or repetitive words (and when he wants to play).
Chanel, so far so good. (cross fingers)
Chin Nee, SJKC are like that. On the other hand, I see my friend's kid in SJK is having it easier.
Michelle, he actually doesn't like "studying" but doing his homework is some what fun for him.
Holy smoke! I was considering to send my kids to Chinese school next time and now I definitely have to think twice, I don't want my kids overloaded with mountains of homework!
Wah~! Your boy is so 'geng', got engrossed with homework some more! Salute!
have a great day!
Alice, I believe the kids eventually get into the routine. I would have to add that there's so much changes in development and thinking for Brendan though once he's used to the routine. He's more matured and strategic in his thinking compared to before he started school. Could be the system, or mixing with friends, I wouldn't really know.
You are lucky. My boy is totally different from Brendan. I have to call and nag him to start doing his homework.
It takes him a few hours to start it, sometimes I need to take out a stick (the daddy use to scratch the back) to threaten him. While he is doing his homework I have to supervise him all the time, once I leave him, he will also leave his work, sigh!
Martini, though he knows how to do his homework without calling, it doesn't seem to be the same when it comes to meal time or to sleep. I too have to nag at him to eat first, to go to sleep, to take a shower, to do this, to do that. Sigh!
