Kuck kuck... Guten Morgen. . Das war es dann mit Ostern 2020. . Das Wetter war besser als angekündigt. . Die Tortenschlacht viel aus und das war etwas was wir sehr genossen haben. . Wir würden es uns wünschen das nicht so viel tam tam immer darum gemacht wird und einfach nur das miteinander genossen wird. Wir finden, Saschas viel zu viel oder zu oft vergessen wurde. Zumindest bei einer Seite der Familie bei uns. . Daher fanden wir die Ruhe einfach nur entspannend. . Habt einen schönen schönen Wochenstart. . Ich bin schon im Büro. . . . . #office #stayathome #nohomework #nohomeoffice #foodundlifestyleblog #elkeworks #diy #karte #card #fiy #stayathome #meinlandhausstyle #ü50blogger #ü50bloggerin #ü50 #blogs50plus #50plus https://www.instagram.com/p/B-8t8FuKzUW/?igshid=1rmwntuifbs4s

A truly rare moment in life where my 5 year old lays down for a nap, all my housework, my homework, and my writing is done and I can just sit on the couch with a cup of hot coffee and enjoy my Downton Abbey in peace. Yes, I am late to that party, but almost caught up. #naptime #coffee #nocleaning #nohomework #novelwriting #downtonabbey #catchup #relax #momlife #momsofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Uj03nBKsR/?igshid=18t1g43p29xn1

“NO HOMEWORK POLICY” IN ALL LEVELS SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED

Homework is said to be a teacher assigned and teacher monitored learning encounters that happen outside the classroom. It is a planned part of the education process designed to enhance the students learning. Homework is additionally a methods for exhibiting and building the association amongst home and school that prompts more steady accomplishment in all parts of school life. However, many students wants a “no homework policy” because it will not eat up their free time and they can spend their time with their families/friends after going to school, not thinking about the assignments given to them. I’m not being hypocrite here because I really know what you feel, we’re all bombarded with tons of homeworks, but when you look on the brighter side, homework is beneficial to us.

First, we, students can engage with our studies. Indeed, even with the entire day we spent at school, assigned class time isn't generally enough when it comes to engaging with our school work. Doing homework enables us to reconsider content learnt amid the day with a reasonable head and also because we’re far from distractions. This likewise gives our parents a chance to get in touch with us, and see what we learn in school.

Second, doing homework helps us to develop time management and to set priorities. Sometimes our teachers give homeworks simultaneously, because of this, we learn to plan our study schedule, what to do first, second and so on. We also learn to set our priorities, because of having a limited time and deadlines, we tend to set aside the unnecessary things that we want to do instead we do what we need to do.

Third, homework helps our teachers to determine how well our understanding about the topics that were discussed. It helps them to track our progress, whether we understand it or not. Through the help of homework they can spot when we’re struggling in understanding the lessons. And also, submitting homework also provides a good lesson in responsibility and diligence, often with disciplinary consequences if homework is not returned or completed to the required standard.

“No homework policy” is somehow better when it will be implemented because in general, some students are not excited about the homework they get assigned because they are bombarded with other options that seem far more exciting. Let’s face it – homework is no more exciting today than when we were kids. It was tough for us to do homework and we did not have nearly as many distractions as today’s students, but when you dig deeper it is not. Homework show students the important life lessons, such as how to read and communicate with others, that they will use as an adult. Homework also teaches students how to problem solve, think independently, and build an understanding and interest for the issues in our society.

Olympiads

The house is almost asleep as I pen this, the kitchen is done with the feeding, the living room the quarrels and pleas. Now only the bedroom and study breath; the former to cocoon the two creatures I have spawned, the latter watches me while I gather myself for the morrow.

Its been 2 months since school reopened and far from settling down, catching my breath and falling into routine, things have just progressively gotten worse. I walk around permanently with a hideous brown diary, frantically jotting something down as soon as it comes up lest I forget. In the wee hours of the morning, when sleep is heavy in my eyes and swear words hovering dangerously close to my lips, I may forget to pack the almost stale bread and instead ransack the ladder for nonexistent snacks. I then turn to my trusted brown companion (not the hubby, this time), and it calmly reminds me that there are leftovers in the back of the fridge and assures me that the kids will not go hungry. Only before 7am do I fondly refer to that aesthetically offending thing as my-pretty-little-forget-me-not.

A few nights ago, I was grudgingly skimming through the its pages, halfheartedly checking for anything that needed to have been completed by the day before. I look wearily at Kyra's to-do list (who are we kidding here) and it was filled with revisions to be done, pages in workbooks that need to be completed, spell checks to go over, review dates and texts to be memorized.. Those who know me, can attest that I am a horror flick junkie but nothing compares to the aforementioned pages; tis as good as having Emily Rose have one of her fits beside you.

The next page is peppered with meal and snack options and corresponding shopping lists. A far more welcomed, even if innately tedious effort. The final pages have remained the same for the past few months. My personal to do list, my unfinished projects, my task list and goals. All put on hold while I put the daily life in order. An uphill, never-ending, not-even-faintly-amusing chore. Manically repetitive, to be caught in one of those daily housework routines are a special type of hell on earth. The ebb and flow of the passing hours eventually marks every day decidedly over and the wretched alarm a few hours later will gleefully remind you nothing you achieved thus far can be brought to the morrow but that most assuredly life will hand you a dastardly clean slate every morning to labour and cuss over.

As I bemoaned my sorry state of affairs and pledged to climb out of this rut and 'simplify' matters (as a recent houseguest sympathetically suggested), my eyes fell upon some scribbles in the margin. I save that spot for tasks from school specifically directed to the parents.

'Submit Olympiads registration form by so-and-so date'.

It was the night before the deadline and as sleep had yet to knock on my doors, I gathered the circular and the Olympiads registration forms. This was the second batch of forms I had received within a span of 6 weeks. Being the type of mom I am, the first I completely failed to look at and missed the deadline for submission altogether. Dont shudder! 'Olympiads' sound so important, one may be forgiven in assuming its significance. Plus, I was very curious. Where I came from I had not heard of Olympiads being conducted for primary school kids.

The registration forms indicated that these competitions were from children in Grade 1 onwards, listed 6 different Olympiads of different subject matters and included an order form for workbooks to be bought and the amount of registration fees to be paid. An online article warned me parents began preparing for Olympiads 4-5 months prior, the organizer's website clearly states it is in the business of "popularizing competition."

The school circular was careful to mention that this was only an opportunity offered to students but ends it with a grave reminder to 'enroll your child for every competitive test being offered in order to equip him/her for the demands of the competitive world today.'

I consulted my dear friend Google and she drew my attention to a pretty recent article in the Times of India, so aptly titled: 'Olympiads: The new status symbol for parents.' Never mind the reiteration that ours is a competition-crazed society, it makes clear these Olympiads were passing-off as the real deal, when it clearly wasn’t for the actual Olympiads are not meant for little children.

At this, my head began to throb. Clearly these so-called Olympiads were created to cater to the demands of vile concepts such as 'early start' and 'future-ready', and to sit squarely in the eye of a competition-storm gathering momentum. Don’t get me wrong. I loved competition. In school, I use to devise, organize and then participate in inter-school competitions when I felt we needed a healthy dose of it. I had jumped at every opportunity to participate in competitive events at the school, district, state, national and even international level and this continued in university. I was naturally drawn to competitions because I was ready to take them on. Even if I wasn’t quite ready, the thrill of participation would keep me going.

But all this did not start for me till I was close to 11 years old.

As it stands, Kyra: i. spends a lot of time trying to get her head around the daily heap of schoolwork; ii. has swimming almost everyday (completely by choice); iii. has tuitions to attend as I am of no help in Hindi and Malayalam; iv. has some amount of screen time only during weekends; v. Has only about 30 mins of playtime in the evenings (for I am a stickler about an early bedtime) vi. plaintively asks me daily why she is just never left to her own devices (read: do absolutely nothing).

It also stands that her mom: i. may not be as far sighted as some parents when it comes to an early start of competitive events but certainly is in no rush to join the fray; ii. appreciates whatever little time there is to spend on herself and is not intending to reduce that in any way; iii. is already overly involved in Kyra's schoolwork which she highly resents and dreads the time Ezra will walk into Grade 1; iv. will be damned if she can get Kyra to sit and pore over workbooks in preparation for these bogus Olympiads.

It could all be very well she decides to participate next year or the year after (or never), but it will not be at my behest. Her decision to compete, if ever, will be respected only if she:

i. can prepare for these on her own with minimal external support; ii. will be able to handle commitments to school, home, family, social activities and still be a happy and sane child; iii. will take some amount of pleasure in preparing for these competitions without an unhealthy focus on winning; iv. displays emotional maturity to handle both wins and losses.

A tall order eh? Thus, it will be my pleasure to redshirt her from the Olympiads this year (and for as long as it takes).

p/s: also for those of you who are like-minded, bring along those forms and we will have a little bonfire replete with wine and hor d'oeuvres.
