weekly reflection journal in class 6. he writes 'nothing' every week

new at his school this year. every friday one page on 'what I learnt about myself this week'. four weeks so far: 'nothing', 'nothing', 'I like samosas', 'nothing'. funny part. we brought in almost the same journal at the school where I work, last year. I've sat in parent meetings defending it lol. now I'm on the other side and not sure an 11 yr old gets anything out of it. does anyone's kid take these seriously? or is it samosas everywhere
