God bless little boys

Soooooo I have an 8 year old son who is in his first year of juniors school. He never was very studious and quite frankly to quote a stereo type if he were a woman he'd be a dizzy blonde!!!.
He forgets his lunch box despite handing it to him seconds before he leaves through the door. He miss lays his shoes even though he's just taken them off and Im sure if his head hadn't been secure that would have gone too.

Anyway, a term has gone by and he has bought no homework back from school which im more than a little concerned over.
Ok they have had S.A.T.S and then there was a week of African celebration where they came off timetable and took part in various activities to do with Africa .
These weeks came and went and sure enough his best friend who is in the opposite class to him has been bringing worksheet after work sheet home of maths english and geography.

My curiosity got the better of me this morning and I telelphoned the school (feathers slightly ruffled) ready for a showdown about the lack of homework.
I ate a lot of humble pie when she told me in an indignant tone that "don't you know that he brings himself to the homework club every lunch time to do his homework so that he doesnt have to bring it home and worry you with it, hes told me you cant do maths !!!!!"
