[quote=Anonymous]My son is a 7th grader now and I was worried about this too. But most days he comes home on the bus (home around 2:30 and relaxes until evening activities start. He does travel baseball fall and spring, winter basketball, and music lessons year round. Don't underestimate how tiring that early start is! They shouldn't have to go from 6 am wake til 9 pm bed nonstop. Between 2:30-5:30 my son plays video games, plays basketball with neighborhood friends, or just watches tv. Practices his instrument, practices baseball skills, etc. Cleans up his room, empties the dishwasher, etc. on less busy days.

If you have a kid that doesn't do extra activities outside of school, the after school clubs are a great option. They have sports, book clubs, dungeons and dragons, writing, study hall, etc. All sorts of things. And if your child stays for both sessions (2:30-3:30, 3:30-4:30) there is a bus that they can take home most days.

He hasn't had one second of homework that he didn't get done at school, but I think some kids do have homework to do as well. [/quote]
