Was recently reading an article about decorating children's rooms and there was a throwaway line about academically high achieving children having space for a desk in their room not working on the dining table/kitchen bench etc.

I suspect that there are a host of reasons that children with their own study space achieve - parents who can afford large bedrooms probbaly live closer to better schools, parents who care about desks are probably more involved in their children's education and so on.

But it did get me wondering. Where do most children do their homework?

We use the dining table so that I can keep an eye on them and help out if I need to.
