[quote=Anonymous]My son is an 8th grader this year in a sport that he is now doing at the "elite" level. Practice 4 times a week, plus weekend tournaments. I am rather annoyed that he came home at 10 a few times already with practice running long.

Since we are at a middle school and not a secondary school the new 7:30 start time is going to work for us this year, since he'll be out at 2:15 and even with clubs (once they start) he'll have time for homework.  DS loves the sport and he asked to try out for the elite level this year. We told him he had to cut something to do that, and he did. He is going to try and keep scouts for now. My DS isn't going to go to college on a scholarship for this sport (despite what all the other parents in this sport plan, there are no scholarships for this sport.  But I'm not telling the other parents!). DS knows only classes I require As are the high school classes. He doesn't really struggle with school.

I'm taking each year at a time. AP/IB classes will start for him sophomore year. And with the later start time for high school, that will cut into homework time. We'll cross that bridge then.[/quote]
