Homework for under 11's should continue. It's good to get into the practice of homework when you are young. In my opinion, suddenly starting giving homework at age 12 would make school much harder for teenagers when it comes to more advanced homework and revision for exams.

Keep the homework I say. Having a fight with your kid about getting them to do their homework doesn't do any lasting damage, and it really woul dmake all the difference in the future.

And for the record, my school started at 8.55am and finished at 3.30 or 3.35 depending on which floor you were on. 15 mins for playtime and 50 mins for lunch.
