[quote=Anonymous]It's true that first grade is not very fun anymore, if it ever was. My dd goes to a dcps school and they do a ton of work all day, 15 mins recess, if that, lunch where they have to remain quiet, and she goes to afterschool. She also adores art, so that is what she does during free time. Our school doesnot have many afterschool activities, mostly homework help or drawing. Luckily she loves drawing. Now that she can read, she smuses herself that way. We do the homework in three cram sessions over the wkd. Not ideal, but it works for us. We are not doing any other activities at the moment, with school so long and structured, and me working FT. Your child might benefit from a more creativity or playbased program, like many charters or private schools. Academic pressure at this age stinks. [/quote]
