She has got huge gaps so we've started her at Mathansium 3x's a week. She actually enjoys her time there. In fact, she said "it's nice to do something with a challenge." R
I love her attitude. I would say that if she starts looking more than a bit stressed overall, one possibility is to cut back the afternoon tutoring.
Another possibility is to get the teacher's agreement that between now and January you can stop the homework after a good (x) length of time, either all together or any particular assignment. This is a transition period, and grades will not be a part of her permanent record. There is drawbacks to this, but it is a good thing to have in the back of your mind. DS's teachers always encouraged us to send in notes if there was a midweek family activity that got in the way of homework. My hunch is that sooner than you'd like, you will be looking for ways to enrich the education.
Does she happen to be an 'old' 6 or a 'young' 6 ? - I'm wondering chronologically and otherwise...
