[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really sure why it's the schools fault that you don't get more time with your kids in the evenings because you don't get home until 6.[/quote]

This. [/quote]

OP here.  Please elaborate.  I have a job.  I would love to be an heiress but alas, that is not my lot in life.   I think it's normal to work to put food on the table, a roof over your head is it not?  And if this is in reference to having two working parents - I'm afraid that's far and away the norm these days.  Most, us included, have no other way of making ends meet. [/quote]

Hire a damned babysitter then[/quote]

OP, I wouldn't quite put it in those terms, but can you have your kid either work on HW on the weekends, or arrange to have him complete it before 6pm?  I know not all schools have study hall during after care, but could you hire an after school babysitter who could also help with HW prior to your arrival?[/quote]

Dinner, work sheet, brush teeth, bath, PJs, story, kiss, good night.  Make it a part of your evening routine.[/quote]

Ugh. No. The school doesn't get to interfere with our bedtime routine.  I'm fortunate enough that DS's after-school nanny generally oversees the homework. But if the only way it could get done was by taking 20 minutes out of our evenings (which ends up being more than 15% of our evening time together!) I would just opt out.  [/quote]
