Gosh, this sounds like my DS who is in yr 7. He has had a few little projects here and there but no consistent homework.
Luckily next week he gets his school report and we have teacher inteviews on the thurs. So will def. be asking abt the 'homework' issue. I remember going to highschool in the 80s, Im pretty sure we had maths/english every night. My DS - nothing. I also put it down to a 'boys' thing...
