So the school have cut the amount of homework the pupils are given to just minutes per night.

• Is it me, or is this madness?! - I always had homework down as 50% preperation for what you are going to do and 50% revision for what you have done! - This is just daft it teaches kids how to manage their time and see if they can do any of the work themselves! - Another example of schools ‘dumbing down’!

Well Monday had its regular showing of ‘Dusk til Dawn’ on C4 and as per tradition I made time to watch it! I love that movie (Although I pretend its a one-off rather than a trilogy!)

I’m trying a new format with my posts now - instead of lots of short posts I am trying to make my posts have more of a dairy feel to them - although I don’t know how well these will work! Maybe they will be more meaningful!
