[quote=Anonymous]DS’s last year of MS was tough because we had overcommitted (even though it seemed doable). He played on team outside school and at school in the fall and spring. He didn’t get home from school until 3:45 on non-school sport days but we were back out the door by 5 for his other team several days of the week. He got home at 7:30 and showered and then ate dinner around 8. On days he had the school team, I often picked him up at 7 so he again got home at 7:30. He could have started homework immediately after school but he has always needed a break before settling in so he was doing homework from 8:30-10:30 most nights. It was exhausting for him. I could see some kids being able to do it if they got home from school earlier or had less homework. DD didn’t have many ECs in middle school but would have had time. She was home by 3 everyday and seemed to finish her homework within an hour. So I think it really depends on the workload, your child’s speed at completing homework, what time your child gets home, how frequent the commitment is for each activity, etc. DS is now in HS had committed to 2 teams for the fall but completely flipped out when he saw the schedules knowing he couldn’t get it all done. He quit one of them. [/quote]
