[quote=Anonymous]Senior at TJ started sacrificing sleep occasionally in 9th.  When the homework load picked up in 10th, it became a regular thing.  During band season and her spring sport, she is frequently out of the house 7am to 8 pm and up until after midnight.  She pulled an all nighter last night finishing end of the quarter work, which if course is die the same day as EA apps. Ugghh.

10th grader at a strong base school is very organized and efficient.  I would like her to go to bed around 10, but once a week or so she is up until 11. But her main EC is just now getting going at full speed. She can miss her EC occasionally, and is good about working ahead and skipping her EF if she has a lot of work.  But, I think this winter and junior/senior years are going to be harder.

if you have a kid in ES who is already missing sleep, you need to get a handle on that. Cut down the ECs, drop your kid out of AAP, work hard to establish good homework habits— something.  It’s only going to get worse in HS, and that pace isn’t sustainable over years.
