[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You think your kids will never get into college of they don't do schoolwork for the next few weeks?

Let it be.

Work an hour or two then take them for a long hike.

Then let them watch a movie and work.

Teach them how to cook.[/quote]

Some of us have children who need to stay on track. If my emerging reader didn't read for two weeks he would be back to square one.[/quote]

No he wouldn't. [/quote]

We are out until April 13, so more then 2 weeks. DS is not being asked to do a ton, we have 3 hours of school type stuff scheduled. Math, reading, writing, and some science and history. We are not going to set him up to play video games all day or watch movies all day. And he is going to be bored out of his skull if he is playing by himself for most of the day while Dad works at home and Mom is at the office. The work gives him something he can do and focus on while keeping his mind active. And he will be better prepared for school to start again whenever that happens. Win-Win for everyone.

There is time for outside play and walks and games and TV and video games. Requiring that he spends time doing school work is not a punishment, it is a requirement so that he continues to stretch his mind and grow. When he returns to school he won't be rusty in any subject and will be in the right mindset to learn. [/quote]
