We have done our best to make Stratton House feel as much like a modern family home as possible and, with out a doubt, one of the most popular household items is the T.V.
However, we have no wish to see a ‘couch potato’ culture develop and do our utmost to control the childrens allowed viewing times.
During school days no TV is allowed in the morning. On returning home, the strict rule is that the TV does not ge turned on until all homework is finished.
If some children are slower than others then for the ones who have finished there are chores to help out with or physical leisure activities to partake in whilst waiting.
Jack is very keen to help out with the expanding vegetable growing and runs round with the watering can most evenings whilst waiting for Yong and Mae to finish their homework.
If homework is done, and behaviour good, an hour or twos cartoons or childrens movies are allowed.
On the weekend we aim to occupy the children with sports or art and craft as well as extra curricula English lessons, again limiting the T.V use to an acceptable level.
All the children are given plenty of positive attention, and assistance where nesseccary, whilst doing their homework and and are proud to show their finished work.
