Dear Mrs Khayatt,



We, as parents of the first-grade students, respectfully call for your kind reassessment of the digital homework assignments provided to our children. At six years old, the challenges of online navigation and comprehension are detracting from the educational value of these assignments, often resulting in parental intervention rather than fostering the intended student independence.



If we may propose a two-phased approach to homework:



1. **Initiate with Paper-Based Homework:** Begin with print assignments that are within the children's current capabilities, promoting self-sufficiency.



2. **Gradual Integration of Digital Learning:** As literacy skills solidify, introduce digital elements in a supportive setting, like IT lessons. When children demonstrate proficiency with digital tools and the ability to work autonomously at school (with little guidance from adults), they can be entrusted with additional assignments to complete at home.



We are hopeful for an opportunity to discuss this constructively and thank you for your attention to our concerns.



Kind regards,

My son is 6 and honestly the tech stuff is just way too much for him. He gets so frustrated and i end up doing half of it for him anyway.
