....how do they find it and do they fit in much other than homework during the week? I grew up in a rural area and travelled to school but by the time homework became significant in Y9/10 I'd given up pretty much all extra-curricular stuff.
DD does a couple of activities that require a lot of time (e.g. has her own pony) and I'm concerned how she'll fit it all in when she goes to senior school (where they give them approx 60 mins a night for the next day right from the start). Don't want her having a breakdown or doing badly simply through lack of time/exhaustion but equally think it's important to do "other stuff" .
