[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the student, the student's needs, and the outside load. And as Pettifogger says, during the school year there's a lot less time. We did thirty minutes to an hour most weekdays, not counting the classic-lit-and-history bedtime reading, then one to two hours during the weekend. Summers were more hardcore. Yes, the math textbooks came to the beach house with us. Eventually we gave up and went private, partially because managing all of the supplementation became a chore as the number of kids we had in FCPS increased. Now we do very little supplementation, and mostly either fun stuff or special needs-oriented, because we trust the private school's curriculum & instructional methodology. As to how many parents are following that route -- I think only a relative few have entirely written off public school as a source of instruction, but in my neighborhood, there's now a tutoring center in every strip mall.[/quote]
