I ask ask the small boy, do you have any homework? He says, "dunno." Next day I ask him, "Did you check your homework?" He says, "forgot." Some days go by. I forget to ask.

Geography sadly is a subject (am clueless as to BW's polders - is that even a word>??) but one you can drop. Or not. Eldest son chose it.

I was, of course, vaguely aware of impending exams, but unless there are certificates at the end I find it difficult to get terribly exercised about them.

Rather worryingly I espouse the 'wing it and muck about having a game of cricket' approach. Suffice to say I wasn't a 'revision sleepover' kind of girl.

Have informed J that they are his exams and he may do with them as he so pleases. Surprisngly this cavalier approach seems to have some merit as he asked me to test him on his conversational French over breakfast. He sounded very nearly Parisian by the end of his croissant. :) xxxxExmoorjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230395732150659356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561630962952236138.post-64236971040662594142011-06-13T10:38:50.496+01:002011-06-13T10:38:50.496+01:00Oh this is brilliant.

I'm sure I was a great reviser, underlining everything, different headings etc. My son sounds like yours - needs constant nudging to come off the computer and do some proper revision. What's worse is that a lot of his revision is on the computer so I have no idea when he's skiving and when he's working. 80/20 is the usual ratio.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119443727504215312noreply@blogger.com
