[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]for ECE: that it was okay to not push my kid to complete her "homework" packets.  Teachers send those home to complete every week, but for kids who have to stay in aftercare due to working parents' schedules, it's really hard to finish those while trying to stick to dinner and bedtime routines.  My kid was exhausted and we pushed it until the teacher told us not to worry about it.  That leniency seems to go away by kindergarten, though aftercare teachers made sure to have time every day for my kid to work on it there.

for all years:  it's a continuous shock to our family system how crunched for time we are after a long day at school and aftercare.  somehow it's harder than our summer schedule even though she's in camp all summer. it's all we can do to eat something, relax for 20 minutes, and then start the bedtime battles.  do whatever you can to make your home life as easy to execute as possible (make dinners ahead of time, or decide that PB&J is a perfectly ok family dinner) because it's hard to pull it all together during the week.[/quote]
