Grinity- Yes it is a very long day for him, but the tutor is not available before school or the weekends. I feel like we're just going to have to tough it out. I definitely think he'll need a break after awhile.
I wonder if you can grab him at lunch time once a week for his tutoring....it's not like he'll be missing much, right?
I would propose it as a short term idea. Right now the tutoring is more important than the rest of it, so why not give him a clean shot at making the most of it. If he were a Olympic track athlete he'd miss school to travel to coach with that special coach, right?
I think many parents in certain work fields tend to 'just assume' that folks (including their children) will just keep going because they have to - no matter how un-natural it is to their normal rhythms. I did anyway.
Smiles,
Grinity
