Interesting! DS1 starts school next year, and I have no idea whether they set
homework in Kindy, but I hope not.

We will be able to walk to and from school, so I am expecting to walk DS1
home, give him afternoon tea, then he can do his homework, then play. That's
what life was like when I was growing up, and I imagine we'll start off like
that.
