We don't have homework yet, but DD will do it at the dining table or on her little table that is next to the couch so we can help. She will have a desk in her room when older (probably from year 5 or so). I think they need a space that is quiet, but also not having to pack up every night because dinner is ready. Out in the main living area there are too many distractions for most people to properly concentrate (however I'm sure there are some people that probably work better with some level of background activity).
I had a desk in my room growing up and would be classed as an 'academic high achiever'.
At the dinner table, and I assist when needed. I had a desk in my room as a kid which I did homework at and I definitely wasn't a high achiever LOL. I passed year 12 by 2%.
