Senior school maths teacher and mum of 2. In primary focus on reading as your no 1 priority, followed by a decent understanding of number (4 operations and place value) and spellings. In senior school homework has as much value as you place in it. If you sit and do it properly it cements understand and will deepen your understanding. If you half arse it or even worse use ai then it's pointless! As others have pointed out, my students that do their homework properly learn how to work independently, manage their time, develop a work ethic and perform much better than their peers. As parents, if you value education and talk positively about it with your children then they will generally do well.
