[quote=Anonymous]An hour of structured supplemental learning every day for a 7 year old? I understand having them read books, but a whole hour of worksheets, Beast Academy, spelling lists or whatever every day is just not doable. If you have two working parents, let’s say 1 can get home early and pick up the child after school. Have them complete their 10minutes of school homework or have a snack. Then you might go to a sport practice or game (that’s two days per week at this age), or make dinner. Then you eat dinner and it’s 6:30 and everyone cleans until 6:40p.  In my house we think music is important so 15 minutes of piano practice takes you to 7pm. And that’s not accounting for younger child tantrums or needs, parent working late or having to have staggered dinner times, school performances, play dates, after school clubs or activities like dance, art, or tae kwon do. If you’re adding an hour of supplementation, where are we supposed to get family time in, let the child rest and play, do bedtime routine, and have them get enough sleep (11-12 hours at this age)?
