   I give my kids an hour of play time after school to let out some of their energy. I find they focus better when they aren't as wound up from sitting in a classroom all day.

   My son is in 6th grade & my daughter is in 8th grade, it's hard to find a happy medium? My son has after school activities everyday from 4:15 / 6 PM, he doesn't get home until 3:45, so he has to come home change, grab a snack & go, then after he comes home about 6:15/6:30 we eat soon after / then homework / shower /bed! His grades are very good, but sometimes he gets very frustrated ( so do I ) He Loves what he's doing & it's alot for an 12 yr to stick with along with keeping his grades & school work as # 1. I would like to figure out some kind of schedule, or routine to make it less crazy, but have not really figured it out quite yet!
   My daughter, she just comes home & does her H.Work, she gets Honors & I really don't have to get after her at all. So I just need to figure how to get thing's a little less crazy & alot more organized, somehow. -- Leanne

   If you do it right after school you won't forget about it and not do it at all

   I have a daughter in kindergarten and I always let her have a break after school to have a snack, play, or watch television. I understand that right after school would be a great time because it will be still fresh in their brains but I know I need a break so I in turn give her a break then we sit down together and complete the homework. My daughter has excellent grades in Kindergarten and this works fine it might change as she gets older but for now I say give them a break then go over what they studied in class and complete the assignment.

   I mean if you do your homework after school then you can actually have time to play outside with your friends-Mikaila

    In my oppinion it is better to have the homework done before the due date.
