[quote=Anonymous]It depends. In fourth grade, our ES lets kids walk or ride their bikes home alone. But if you take the bus, then at age 8 in MD it would be fine. With mine, the first went to aftercare until about the first quarter of MS. The second stopped aftercare in third grade due to sports. My youngest is also going to stop in third grade, but she lives with a older teenagers. As to what they do, we have a rule that you cannot go to anyone's house where a parent isn't home until HS. There are some after school sports that get your kids home an hour or so later starting in 7th grade. There isn't much for 6th graders, but I've seen a few clubs that go for a few weeks each quarter. Other than that, there is homework, going swimming at the beginning and end of the school year, chores, etc. [/quote]
