Our 2022 Transparency Report has landed

Upload issue via google chrome.

The site doesn't work properly when my son try to upload his work via Google Chrome! AND we didn't get back any warning sign, eight pieces of his homework weren't submitted! So annoying! Finally, we could somewhat manage to use it via Safari...

Show My Homework can be useful for the minority, but not for me. Why? Well, I rarely connect to the internet and teachers can also forget to upload homework and you therefore miss out on learning. Planners are a perfectly reliable way to write homework: it never crashes, which Show My Homework does sometimes and you just have it with you. Without my beloved diary which my mum bought at WH Smith (she doesn't like it either) I probably wouldn't get homework done. I don't recommend this service.

I tried a free trial - avoid at all costs

I tried a free trial - my daughter didn’t use it. When I tried to cancel it was impossible. Customer services initially told me I didn’t have an account and I had to send a credit card statement to prove it. Then they sent instructions to access ‘cancel’ tabs that did not exist. Messages answered after gaps > 3 weeks at 16:51 one day as further payment taken that night. It’s now over a month since I instructed them to cancel the subscription which they have refused to do yet I am unable to. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY’S FREE TRIAL OR ADD ON SERVICES

Show my homework / satchel one is diabolical

Show my homework / satchel one is turning out to be diabolical. My grandson has only just started secondary school and has had his first detention ever for being late with homework even though it has been uploaded. Submitted homework is showing as outstanding (not in a good way!!) even though it has been done. Maths homework had questions that weren't covered in course work and English homework gave the answers but not the questions. Presumably schools are paying for this awful service, let's get back to proper teachers doing proper teaching and putting effort into delivering the curriculum and their pupils education and futures. Let's get personal!!

Issues accessing on and off but…

Issues accessing on and off but perserverence wins through. Overall excellent for keeping tabs on homework due. However, cannot seem to tick off completed homework which still showing as overdue tasks! Constant reminders for pupil to mark as completed but still doesn't accept tasks ticked off.

If you start writing in the SMHW…

If you start writing in the SMHW document ( to submit hw ) and then go back to the "description" bit of your homework, everything gets deleted and it cannot be retrieved. I just lost an entire essay :) Fix this, SMHW!!!

Date of experience : April 08, 2020

Do not use this app / website - it has ruined my life. It encourages and enables laziness and selfishness from teachers, who can spend 30 seconds setting a 4-hour-long piece of homework without any more information than a sentence. My school uses this app, and I have been given several behaviour marks and detentions from not submitting a homework that didn't come up on SMHW for me, or didn't send to the teacher when I submitted it. It lets teachers bombard you with homework without setting it properly, and you are forced to spend every minute of your free time / weekends checking the damned website to see if you've been given homework, or else be punished. It just lets teachers ruin your holidays and home life with homework.

Good if used properly

This website is good if it is used properly by both teachers and students. Some teachers may forget to upload homework so I do understand some peoples reservations about using the website. Our school has recently got rid of the trusty paper homework diaries as a way saving money and paper. And although these were a useful way of keeping track of assignments, individual pupils tended to "forget" to write down homework. This website provides no excuses. The website also allows students to upload assignments online. Quizzes and online activities can also be uploaded by teachers. Show my homework also has an app!!!

son's account has another pupil's details/homework etc on it, have been begging them since the beginning of September to sort it out....and so far (today is the 30th) they have ignored my 5 technical support tickets, and there is no contact on the site itself, i've had to do a bit of detective work but i've found a number for them.....

Stella found Satchel One :

Good to share workload across a department and to track students' knowledge; parents like being able to see that too.

Clare found Satchel One :

Teacher of Science

Used Satchel One for 2.5 years

I would like to see the recurring feature added for regular HW (see Q9). I also think that expanding the quiz feature where questions can be posed that ask pupils to type a short, one word answer would be helpful. The multiple choice option is great, but they only make up a small portion of an exam paper so pupils need to be able to recall names etc. and not always chose it from a set of options. It is difficult to create a platform whereby pupils can write extended answers (Google Forms works to an extent here) but answers for 'state the name of...' questions could be loaded by the teacher when creating the quiz. Teachers would still need to be able to overwrite the mark given to allow them to give marks for misspellings etc.

Siobhan found Satchel One :

Used Satchel One for 4 years

It isn't perfect but the functions they have work really well, and there is lots in development too. The customer service is excellent, and they are very responsive to suggestions. The apps are easy to use and really enhance the system, for example it is super easy to tick off homework on the app if it is completed on a different website. Not 10 yet as the detentions module needs more development and the parent app should mirror what the teacher ticks off as completed not what the student ticks off.

Tina found Satchel One :

‘Roar’ Is Spoon-Fed Women’s Empowerment That’s Tough to Swallow

By Jenna Scherer

Jenna Scherer

Roar is what happens when a group of five-star chefs combine their talents, roll up their sleeves, and wind up making a garbage plate. All the ingredients are there, and all the skill, but it somehow adds up to a muddled creation that’s less than the sum of its parts.   

The Apple TV + anthology series (all eight episodes streaming now) is essentially a collection of modern fairy tales about female empowerment, based a 2018 short story collection by Irish author Cecelia Ahern. The episodes open with bright typographic title cards that more or less tell you what you’re in for: “The Woman Who Disappeared,” “The Woman Who Was Kept on a Shelf,” “The Woman Who Was Fed by a Duck.”   

On the page, Roar couldn’t sound more appealing for a certain type of audience (read: your intrepid reviewer). Created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, the minds behind Netflix’s canceled-too-soon masterpiece GLOW, the show features a who’s who of female creative talent on both sides of the camera. Aside from the creators, episode writers include Janine Nabers ( UnREAL ), Vera Santamaria ( PEN15, Orange Is the New Black ), and playwright Halley Feiffer. A refreshingly diverse cohort of directors includes Rashida Jones ( Angie Tribeca ), So Yong Kim ( Dr. Death, Transparent ), Anya Adams ( Fresh Off the Boat, The Good Place ), Channing Godfrey Peoples ( Miss Juneteenth ), and cinematographer Quyen Tran ( Maid, Palm Springs ). 

And then there’s that cast: Issa Rae , Nicole Kidman , Cynthia Erivo , Merritt Wever, Judy Davis, and GLOW stars Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin, to name a few. Hell, even the male ensemble is amazing: Jake Johnson, Daniel Dae Kim, Hugh Dancy, Nick Kroll, Jason Mantzoukas, and Alfred freakin’ Molina. With this dream team and this pedigree, how could Roar go wrong? 

We have no earthly idea. But man, is it a mess—albeit an interesting mess. The series’ eight half-hour episodes vary widely in quality and tone, and only a precious few nail the assignment. The stories read like fables, and like Aesop’s, are mostly populated by archetypes and come with a too-neat moral at the end. Sometimes this works, but even the best installments of Roar tend to pull their punches right when you want them to go further down the rabbit hole.  

Editor’s picks

Special report: future of music 2023, the 200 greatest singers of all time, the 500 greatest songs of all time, the 100 greatest tv shows of all time.

Take the opener, “The Woman Who Disappeared,” penned by Nabers and directed by Peoples. Issa Rae stars as Wanda, a newly famous novelist who goes to Hollywood to meet with execs who want to adapt her book for the screen. But even in this rarefied air, she’s a Black woman in a world not built for her. During a meeting with a room of smooth-talking producers—all of them white men—she feels her voice getting ignored as they talk about spinning her writing into something it was never meant to be; and then she literally becomes invisible.  

It’s a rich metaphor that gets more complex as it goes, and Rae beautifully evokes the existential horror of her situation. But then, in the episode’s final act, it becomes something much more simplistic, sacrificing nuance for a generic message of empowerment through self-actualization. It feels like a cheat.   

Some episodes, on the other hand, are just kind of dull. “The Woman Who Ate Photographs,” written by Flahive, boasts the star power of Oscar winner Nicole Kidman. She plays Robin, a woman driving her aging mother Rosey (Oscar nominee Judy Davis) — who is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s — through the Australian hinterlands to come live with her. When Robin stumbles across an old family photo album, she begins to literally consume the faded snapshots, causing her to relive old memories in brief, impressionistic bursts. But mother and daughter never go deep enough into their complicated history, and very little comes of the magical-realist premise. It ends, once more, in a sunny denouement that feels unearned. 

And then there are the installments that are just plain weird. There’s “The Woman Who Was Kept on a Shelf,” which features Gilpin as Amelia, a model who marries a wealthy man (Kim) who invites her to sit on a high shelf in his vacant mansion so that she can be his muse as he works. She’s a trophy wife. Get it? Despite its facile premise, this one is worth a watch for the always magnetic Gilpin’s performance; she leans hard into the candy-colored unreality of the episode’s world, so manic and childlike that you can’t help but be charmed, even if it ultimately amounts to nothing. 

But trust us on this: Please, please skip over “The Woman Who Was Fed by a Duck.” Does it star respected master of subtlety Wever? Does Mantzoukas make an appearance to charm the pants off of viewers as per uszh? Yes. But it’s also about, quite frankly, a woman who has a sexual relationship with a talking mallard.

Jennifer aniston demands attention in 'the morning show' season 3 trailer, ‘barbie’ may be the most subversive blockbuster of the 21st century.

The nice part about an anthology series, however, is you can just watch the good ones. And thankfully, there’s a trio of them: “The Woman Who Found Bite Marks on Her Skin,” a body horror-tinged nightmare starring Oscar nominee Erivo as a woman who, while trying to balance motherhood with her high-powered job at a male-dominated company, discovers that a malevolent force is leaving bloody tooth marks all over her body. Jones directed this one from a script by Mensch and Flahive, and it’s a thing of stark and evocative beauty — a metaphor that actually makes good on its promise. 

Brie is at the top of her chatty game in “The Woman Who Solved Her Own Murder,” the clever (if unoriginal) tale of a ghost trying to get to the bottom of her grisly death while the detectives assigned to her case ( GLOW ’s Christopher Lowell, and, in an inspired bit of stunt casting, Hannibal ’s Hugh Dancy) prove to be utterly incompetent. It’s simultaneously a sendup of the male-centric dead-girl mystery genre and a character study of a woman discovering too late that she was completely  misunderstood. 

And then, finally, there’s that understatement we’ve been looking for in “The Woman Who Returned Her Husband,” an episode that could easily fly under the radar for its lack of A-list names. But don’t sleep on it: Santamaria pens the story of Anu (Meera Syal), who at the age of 60, finds herself dissatisfied with a marriage that’s grown stale and trades in her husband (Bernard White) at a big-box store for a newer model. The story is funny and sweet, and a lovely look at both what it means to be an immigrant in America and the ways in which people never stop growing, both separately and together. 

But three episodes out of eight, in this age of peak television, just isn’t going to cut it. Roar has built a daring experiment, bringing in a diverse group of female writing, directing, and acting heavyweights — which makes the series almost fascinating in its failure to deliver. There’s a solid chance the main fault lies in the source material, but that doesn’t absolve Roar of its faults. The world always needs more stories of women’s empowerment, sure; but we’re all grown-ups here, and we don’t need that message spoon-fed to us — and certainly not by a duck.
