Sri Utama did not follow the standard time table, hence they were open this week while the rest of the schools were closed. Both Idlan and Irfan also had tons of assignment to hand in before next weekend. But what infuriate us was the amount of daily homework that Idlan especially was getting. Personally they were both excessive and unnecessary.
We had pointed this out to the teacher during the last meeting but it seemed that nothing had really changed. Idlan still had to stay up almost every night doing his homework. Then Anita would be doing his and Irfan's assignments and projects in the meantime. It was getting ridiculous. Even the other parents were seething.
Unfortunately the assignments carried a substantial percentage of the exam marks for the end of term. We don't really have a choice. As a long term plan, we were looking at alternative school and maybe giving up on the national stream, taking O and A levels instead.
But, better get the assignments and homework out of the way first. The arrangements can't go on much longer.
