Tuition has started 'covering' his school homework in the batch. He comes home with every answer written

Class 8 son, maths and science tuition three evenings a week. Since July the tuition sir spends the last half hour going through the next day's school homework with the batch. So the worksheet comes home already filled in, and at home he just copies it neatly into the notebook. His homework marks look great 😄 His unit test marks don't. Do I ask the tuition to stop doing this, knowing the other parents probably like it? Or just tell him to do the school work first and the tuition after? Not keen on a fight with either side.

Then the homework is the tuition teacher's, not his. Tell the teacher to stop doing it for your son, or drop the batch. Homework exists so the school can see what he can't do.

  I'd try a softer version first. My daughter's tuition did the same, and when I asked, the teacher said parents had requested it because homework was eating their evenings. When I asked for her to be left out of that half hour, he agreed without any fuss. One conversation sorted it.
