My daughter started middle school this year. She's a type A personality and has always been an all A student even though she has dyslexia. She's in all advanced classes which I advised against and goes to gym 4 days a week for 3.5 hours and we have a 30 min drive back and forth so she has about an hour a day to do homework before gym. She knows her schedule is tough so she tries hard to finish homework at school or on the weekends but sometimes assignments happen during the week. The past 2 weeks she has really struggled after practice because she has so much homework or she is too tired to study. I told her school comes first and maybe she needs to take a day or two off when she has too much homework. She just says, no way mom it's meet season.
I think she's putting too much pressure on herself to get it all done. She is giving up trying out for a role in the school play and drama club because it will interfere with gymnastics. At what point do I intervene and make her take a day off or suggest she try out for a part she really wants. For those of you who chose homeschooling at what point did you decide that your child needed that? After state in December her hours increase to 5 days a week.
