It is a lot of money but that along with new cloths and some fishing gear its all money well spent. Seriously they're sending your 7 yr old home with homework that involves going on the internet? I can understand High School kids having homework that they need the internet for but never a 7 yr old, I'm quite surprised by that. My kids 6 and every few weeks getting homework he needs to go on Internet for! It's beyond a joke at times what he comes home with! My lad as just turned 6 and my daughter is 7 in a few weeks but they've never came home with any homework they need a computer for let alone going on the www. How do children who's parents don't have computers manage then? they get told to go to the library by there teacher 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How do children who's parents don't have computers manage then?my kids are 10 & 11 and while they ain't specifically given homework to do on the Internet, they are guided that way in the list of suggestions in say a history piece, and they have been for a few years now.. They are also allowed to do some things digitally to present to the class on the white board and they take it in on a memory stick.. Think all schools have Internet access in the classroom now, things have come a long way since the days of blackboards and dodging flying board rubbers if you didn't shut up!

Caitlin as a lot of homework where she needs the internet but she's 14, my 2 young uns have never came home with any homework that they need the computer for, tbh if they did I'd be saying to the school I want them learning to write before they can type. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
