When I hear about university model schools I think it would be such a great option. My DS could attend school 3 days a week, and then we'd have time for all the enrichment the other two days, instead of after-schooling. Unfortunately, we don't seem to have an option like that near us. My son is 6 and after going to school all day and doing homework, I usually just send him outside to play. I wish I had the time to really pursue his interests and meet his instructional needs better.
Has anyone ever proposed to a public school that they pull their child out one day a week? I know some high schools allow students to leave early ever day to take a course at the community college. I was wondering if I could keep my son home one day and do both a religious program and then a JHU CTY class online. I'm sure the answer is probably no, as it's probably a truancy issue. If I kept him home on Wednesdays and his class attends Music on Wednesdays, he'd miss that too. Any other ideas or ways to make room for enrichment without extra homework?
