Being A Year 6 Pupil Myself

Examples of level 4 and 5 biased argument in the form of a letter – School children have too much homework. Updated on May 5, 2014 help for teachers moreContact Author A biased argument is one of the hardest piece of writing we ask children to write at primary school. Included in this hub are two pieces of writing from children for a level 4 and a level 5 to be able to do just that. I am writing to you to complain about the situation regarding homework in primary schools. Being a year 6 pupil myself, nearing the end of my primary years, I feel that I have sufficient experience to comment on the situation. Knowing the pressure our education gives us, I believe children’s learning is clearly extremely important however with SAT’s approaching quickly, year 6 pupils are revising most nights. With the stress from this; sitting constantly paying attention for 6 hours a day at school and the exams shortly on their way, children obviously don’t need the stress of more homework. School is a very important place where children learn valuable life lessons and this should mean more than writing and maths.

How are we supposed to attend extra curricular clubs with our heads in books constantly? England has an obesity problem so without these clubs the problem will only get worse. Shouldn’t you be encouraging the younger generation to be fit and healthy? Surely being the minister of education you can clearly understand my personal views (especially considering these views are agreed by the vast majority of people). I suggest that it is much better for children to work independently in class rather than at home where some parents tend to take over. There is no point of homework if someone else does it for you! After taking Mrs Jones’ views into consideration I agree we should have homework but not a large amount. I believe that teachers should set the homework as they know the students better. I hope you find my argument against homework reasonable and take my points into consideration for the 2014 curriculum. Good level of detail to each point, which is backed up. Good punctuation used – brackets, hyphens, semi-colons and colons. An example of a level 4 piece of work. I am writing to you to express my feelings on the current amount of homework that you are giving us. This is a situation that needs to be changed. I understand that we are expected to complete a small amount of revision work however, it is not fair that we have to do normal homework as well. We could be putting our health at risk because of all the stress that is put on us to get amazing grades in our SAT’s. It is very hard for some children to do homework at home because of their siblings, younger ones, and busy parents. It is very hard to concentrate in a house full of people when it is very loud. I hope you take my thought and ideas to cut down homework into consideration. Vocabulary isn’t as varied although it is good. High level conjunctions used.

Otherwise, the childs future relationships may be much more difficult. IS THIS THE RESULT OF ABUSE? The first concern of the courts is protecting the children. If there are reports of child abuse as the cause of the childs alienated behavior, the judge may make a protective order restraining contact with the “rejected” parent, such as a temporary order for supervised visitation. If you are the “rejected” parent you may feel that supervised visitation is unnecessary or insulting. Yet this may be your biggest help, as someone neutral can observe the childs behavior and your relationship. Often the judge will say that he or she will not make any assumptions and wants more information before understanding the cause. IS THIS THE RESULT OF “PARENTAL ALIENATION SYNDROME? ” It is important to know that the courts across the country have not adopted the idea that there is such a syndrome. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF AN ALIENATED CHILD?

Children who are not abused, but are alienated have emotionally intense feelings but vague or minor reasons for them. A child might say: “I wont go to see my father! ” Yet she might struggle to find a reason: “He doesnt help me with my homework.” Or: “He dresses sloppy.” Or: “He just makes me angry all the time.” Another child might say: “I hate my mother! WHY DO ALIENATED CHILDREN FEEL SO STRONGLY? Alienated children generally show intensely negative emotions and an absence of ambivalence. New research on the brain suggests that this may be the result of the unconscious and nonverbal transfer of negative emotions from parent to child. The parents intense angry outbursts (even if they are rare), intense sadness, and intensely negative statements about the other parent may be absorbed unconsciously by the childs brain, without the child even realizing it. The child then develops intensely negative emotions toward the other parent (or anyone the upset parent dislikes), but doesnt consciously know why.
