[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5th grader gets out of school at 3:15.  Mondays and Fridays he has soccer from 5:30-6:30.  Tuesdays and Thursdays he has Cross Fit from 3:30-4:30.  Wednesday he has Hebrew School from 4-6.  He averages about 30-60 minutes of home work a night.  He loves his activities minus Hebrew school - lol) and has no issues getting homework done.  He is always asleep by 9 pm and I wake him at 6:30 am if he hasn't woken on his own.[/quote]

This is great but clearly your son is a go-go-go type of personality to handle this schedule.  I actually walked through your son's schedule in my mind b/c I would love for my kid to have a schedule like this - factoring in travel time to get home from school, to/from soccer/crossfit, your son basically gets home from school to snack to HW to soccer to dinner to HW to shower/bed.  I also have the kind of personality that thrives on constant activity and busyness but my son does not, he is more like OP's and needs downtime/transition time.  I think a lot of a kid's after school schedule depends on that fact - do they thrive constantly moving from thing to thing to thing, or do they need to recharge after school/between activities.  Neither is better than the other, but I think when planning one's schedule that should be taken into account or else the person will be overstressed, in one extreme, or bored, in the other.[/quote]
