[quote=Anonymous]6th grade. And I got the raised eyebrow from my peer moms because she changed from private (picked up in the school carpool/at aftercare) to public that same year.  However, this daughter loved coming home to the quiet house to decompress.  She and her sister used to fight in the car on the way home when I picked them up at the private school because the younger one needs to talk and let loose at the end of the day. Fast forward to 8th grade and I was actually LESS comfortable with my older one being alone.  She had become much more social and I was not sure she was studying like she said she was. I started coming home early from work at least a couple of random days a weeek to check up on her.  Her sister started middle school this year and DH and I are switching off afternoons, so that one of us leaves work early every day. The younger one does not like to be left on her own, requires more direction, and is an irritant to the big sister who has a high school load now. So, I think the answer to your question lies in knowing your kid and staying open to changing the plan as the kids' needs change.[/quote]
