[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]I think you missed the OP saying she works FT that means she can't get her kids that early. [/b] I am the PP who said we were going back to private. If I was able to come home this early, I would like have stuck it out in private as it would have given us more time.

For us, this is the rough schedule we had:

Two days a week - pick up from aftercare at 5pm and home by 5:15.   Finish any homework not done at aftercare.  If none, 20 minutes of reading while dinner is prepared. Dinner, then extra Math work for 15 minutes, writing practice - one paragraph a day, and then 20 minutes of additional work in science, history, or geography.  20 minutes of ballet practice.  Possibly a couple rounds of an educational or logic game.  Nighttime routine and bed by 8:30 if we are lucky.

Two days per week - pick up from aftercare at 5pm and go to activities until about 8. Come home, finish any left over homework, Math or writing practice for 10 minutes, possibly an educational game, nighttime routine and bed by 9:30 if we are lucky.

Friday - nothing educational 
Sat & Sun - soccer games or basketball (depends on season)  and ballet (2 hours on the weekends)[/quote]

Oops, you're right I did miss that. My apologies. OP, is there any chance your kids could get their actual school homework done during aftercare? Then you would only need somewhere around 30 minutes to an hour of time for supplemental stuff once you got home, and that might be manageable depending on your schedule. [/quote]
