Wasn't the point that he can't have homework because, during the holidays, he's between schools?
Nope, he would have homework, he will have had a transition day before the end of term and they would have given him a big info pack with lots of lovely homework.
Secondary schools like to keep their new pupils busy.

So kids get homework before they even get to the school?!
I am so glad that I left school in 1980! Even then homework was a pain, but now.........

So glad I'm retired from teaching then.
I always thought homework was a waste of time for many because either their parents helped them or they copied from their friends. I could always tell if a pupil understood the topic. If they did they got extra work in class which extended them; if they didn't they got more attention and extra work to reinforce the topic.
I wasn't given any homework when I was on summer holiday between leaving Junior school and starting grammar school.
Is it a fairly recent thing as my school days were a little while past! ;-)
It was so long ago, that I can't remember if I had homework between primary and secondary school. I don't think so. I can't remember much about school, but I do remember it being a good school, because it was approved ;-)

I didn't mean this in any way as a dig at teachers, rather than the fact that I hated what level I had of homework then, and can certainly imagine hating it even more now!
As it happens I come from family that has had many teachers in it - my great-grandmother was a teacher, my dad was a head teacher, my brother is a head teacher, my sister-in-law is a deputy head and my nephew is a teacher - so I understand (perhaps) more than some what teachers have to put up with!
Sounds laughable but not in the way Corrie want it to be. I live in hope.
I've just watched "Worst Place to be a Pilot": deepest Indonesia seems even more desireable than usual, just to get away from the programme, (but not so far away as to be isolated from this thread.)

I never had this either, and I left primary school in 2004.

Didn't think you were having a dig at teachers. If you want to see that just look in your local newspaper on line on the few occasions there are strikes (which I never did) and you get all the prejudices of teachers having an easy time just working 9 to 3.30, but none will ever take up the challenge to try it to find out just what the hours are and how much work goes on outside the classroom.
But when Corrie and other programmes show teachers like Brian, and people think soaps are like real life, you can't expect anything else.
The exterior shots of the caravan bear no relation to the view seen from inside - including the fact that the car isn't visible in the exterior shot.
When Deirdre was sitting in bed (and apparently not having gone to the toilet for about half a day) there seemed to be more and bigger windows then were visible from the outside of the caravan.
Two things about Rob and Tracey's forthcoming nuptials:-
1. I believe they're getting married in October so there is absolutely NO WAY on God's earth that Mishell would be able to book the sort of venue that Tracey wants, as they would be booked months, or even years, in advance.
2. A venue such as the above-mentioned would cost an arm and a leg so where are they getting the money from? It's not like they've got a thriving business, as first of all they're hardly ever there and secondly, they rarely have any paying customers.

Also - a helicopter?!
I know Tracy is meant to be a "comedy character" (and an unfunny one at that) but this is crap I expect someone like Kirk to come out with. I know Tracy is trying to wind up Me-chelle but that is just stupid.

Also there's no way a wedding planner would be that arsey with a client!

Thanks. ;-):D
Nor was I (went to Grammar School in 1956 - the only thing it was interested in before the first day was that we all had proper uniform).

I'm so glad I retired in 1997.
I feel so old
