[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fine.  Have your kid only do 30 min.  Good luck getting into college.  [/quote]

That's the problem. You shouldn't need to be kept needlessly busy with tons of hw and activities just to maybe get into college.[/quote]

Many folks cut back on the extra curriculars during the school week because they value academics more.  If you value sports or whatever more, then that is what you’ll teach by your actions.  I’m sure your kid spends more than 30 min in other after school activities.  But hey, if your kid is good enough in sports to get a sports scholarship, maybe a C average is all your kid will need.

My kid isn’t that great in sports so he gets 1 weekend extra curricular.  Weekdays are for homework, studying, and downtime because he’s going to need a much better than C average.[/quote]

[b]Kids go to school all day,[/b] they should not need an additional 3 hours of academic work at home, it absolutely is too much even without sports or other activities.[/quote]

There are out of your house all day, but they are not engaged in academic activity all of that time.  Minute:minute is it far less than a 9 to 5 job. Most school schedules have 5.5 hour of instruction time, with breaks and lunch and change of class and announcements and disruptions and other stuff all day long, and that is only if the teacher has the class 'on' at all ties, which is rare. A lot of school time is social.[/quote]

Are you serious? Where are you getting that school is very social? Yes, socializing occurs, but I'd never say alot or quality socializing happens. Especially after the 6th of 7th grade where all the fun is usually taken out of school.[/quote]
