Vacation homework does not seem appropriate as vacation is an important break from school to enjoy family, friends, hobbies, and self-directed learning.
Some parents are concerned with "no homework" policies and restrictions against bringing books home, as these preclude parents from proactively or concurrently seeing what their children are learning.
The homework my kids get is not related to what they are doing at school. The maths is only ever basic facts plus they have 6 spelling words a week and sometimes a writing assignment and they are supposed to read every night. I just treat it as optional. I have no idea what he gets in spelling tests but am happy to help if he wants to get better. As far as I am concerned I lend them the child from 9 to 3 after that they get no say.
