Cretel has often noticed that Sandy and Sue don't have much homework. She raised the 1 at dinner the other evening and Mr Clark tried to explain. “In some countries,” he said, “children are 2 to do a lot of homework from the moment they 3 school.” They are often obliged to learn their lessons by heart and they are tested 4 day by their teachers. The children learn from 5 the same books and follow a strict state program. It's quite the 6 in England. Teachers seldom make very young children do 7 homework. They rarely get their pupils to 8 their lessons by heart. The teachers themselves are usually free to 9 the books they will use. Some teachers don't use books 10 ! After the age of 11 or 12, of course, children are generally made to do some homework, but 11 very much. From the age of 14 onwards, they usually have quite 12 .
As they will be taking important exams, 13 even then, the question of homework is largely 14 own responsibility.
Cretel thought English children were very 15 but Sandy and Sue didn't agree, which is hardly surprising.
