SCHOOL HOMEWORK
TO THE EDITOR O? THE i’EE 13 Sir it was with much pleasure that T read in “The Press” this morning tho views of Dr. E. G. Malherbe, Director of the National Bureau of Educational and Social Research in South Africa. I am sure all parents will agree that homework for the children in primary schools is an evil The work is long and experimental, and Jig it is 4 o’clock before the average child gets home from school to get this done and perhaps a music lesson, means no leisure for the child. I am sure all parents would prefer their children to be kept at school half an hour longer and then be finished until the next day. The homework is not really done by the children; half the time the mothers have to come to the rescue, or the children would be up half the night. —Yours, etc., PARENT. July 1, 1937.
