Funny. What if they use rough paper? Reminds me of a guy in school who left many blanks in a test and he later seriously told the teacher that he had answered mentally and forgot to write on the answerbook.

It is a very different way of learning, and much of it is supposed to be mental, i.e. do all the calculations in your head and only write down the answer! @seasons-It’s crazy how they do it here!

You are on the right track though- most parents leave the teaching to the teachers but not you obviously. My 12 year old brings home sums I cannot do and I have to admit it to her.But I study them too and once I find a way of solving them, I show her my way. Sometimes I find she has an easier way of solving them. I am glad Jazz( my 6 year old) is still learning phonetics...
