[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS almost always misses one of three weekly practices to go to Hebrew School.  It's been OK so far, but he is only U12.  I wouldn't have him skip just for homework/studying.[/quote]

Why sign up for a sport knowing in advance that your son would miss ONE THIRD of all practices? That's a huge amount and is unfair to your son's teammates.[/quote]

We did not know in advance that practices would conflict. Last year they didn't. We didn't know fall practice days/times til late August.  We still don't know practice days and times for winter.  [/quote]

Seriously if we could predict practice schedule it would make it much easier [/quote]

Yes, but regardless of the times/days, there are still the same amount of hours in a day and days in a week. The kids have to learn to do the homework when there is time to do it, blocking out practice times as times unavailable for doing homework. It means looking ahead and doing long-term work earlier than the night before, catching up on the weekend, or sometimes staying up later than desired. It's an intro to how to manage time as an adult.[/quote]
