Over the long haul it isn't really sustainable, honestly.

So people around here seem to figure out ways to get away from it-- and that involves a LOT of different strategies:

a) homeschooling
b) afterschooling (but, as you're seeing already, that comes at the price of free time that they'd otherwise have, which eventually strikes many parents as painfully unfair)
c) different school placement
d) other, even more creative solutions.
