[quote=Anonymous]I work 7:30-4. My H does morning routine, drive to school 30 minutes. I work 15 minutes from their school.

My kids get out of school at 3, they chill until 3:30.

3:30-4:15ish: Homework in a classroom or library.
4:30: Pickup
5:00: arrive at practice location, we eat... picnic type food, fruit, salad, sub, yogurt, etcetc
5:30-7: practice
7:30-8: home eat dinner
8:00:

Homework is done: 30 minute drive in morning, 1 hour after class, 30 minute drive to practice, 30 minute drive home from practice, 30 minutes before practice, 8-10pm at night

That is 5 possible hours that my child could do homework. Normally he uses the 1 hour after school, either 30 minute drive to practice or home (not both) and at most 1 hour at night. That is 2.5 hours of homework. About once every other week he has 3 hours of homework.

Travel sports is 12 weeks in Fall, 12 weeks in Spring. That is 24 weeks out of 52 that leaves 20+ weeks of &quot;just hanging out&quot;. He plays in winter/summer but it is less intense, less practice and no school.

We rarely had sports on a Friday. So he would hang out with friends on a Friday/Sunday.  We are in 8 tournaments a year, 4 are &quot;travel overnight&quot; the rest are travel &lt;1.5 hours from out house. [/quote]
