[quote=Anonymous]IMO, I think the children should be allowed to spend their downtime doing things that they like/want. It's not really "downtime" if they're restricted in what they can do (i.e. only "educational" activities). They've just spent the better part of their day in an educational environment and, in 30 min. or so, will spend a few more hours on strictly educational homework.

I, instead, would email MB and DB saying something along these lines:

"When the children arrive home from school, I allow them to have a 30 minute break before they start their homework. During this time, I think it's integral that they unwind by engaging in reasonable activities that they enjoy. They often like to do X, Y, and Z. While I understand that these activities aren't really geared towards their education, I believe it allows them to effectively decompress, and give their minds a well needed rest before they begin their homework.

Now, if you'd like, I can of course encourage them to engage in educational activities during this time, but I believe they benefit more from spending this time freely as they choose. So, would you like me to encourage them to engage in educational activities during this time, or can I still allow them to spend their break freely?"

I'm sure they'll appreciate your imitative to keep them informed no matter what route you take.[/quote]
