[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

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

Really? Even math? Mine has math most days at least. Plus I make him read. Sometimes he has to finish up a longer term assignment or study for a quiz or test. [/quote]

Mine was all honors and had almost NO homework until this year (10th). My MS kid would come home and sometimes take a nap. Have a snack. Maybe meet up with neighborhood friends. Then home for shower, laying out things for the next morning, and some days had a sport.

Our MS, and I think they all do this, have clubs and sports after school and a late bus most days. But you have to be sure what days those are.[/quote]
