[quote=Anonymous]I think the time left for non-academic activities depends on the efficiency of the child. DC has basically 30 minutes of reading plus 30-60 minutes of other homework Monday through Thursday. But if the child procrastinates and it is like pulling teeth to get him or her to do anything, the time could easily expand to the entire evening. There is often some type of assignment over the weekend. That should take no more than 30 to 60 minutes, but again if the child doesn't willingly and efficiently get things done, it could take longer.

With missing school for 4 to 5 days, I think it could be difficult no matter what the grade, AAP or not. Aside from basic reading and math that parents can help with, their may be specific science or social science lessons that parents can't readily re-create at home. I don't think it's any more difficult with AAP than non-AAP. Either way you would have to work to fill in the blanks with your child, for subject matter you may never have learned yourself, or hope that your child has a helpful teacher to get him or her back up to speed.
