Smile Re: How do you manage homework and robotics?

Our school day ends at 2:30 and we start up at 5 in the evening. That allows students to get some homework done. We are a Tech Center so by 2:30 the students have gone back to their home schools. They then come back at 5 pm. Also, I recommend they have books with them in case they get some down time. Soometimes they do not come if they have too much.
We are now on 7 days a week and a team of 12. Most nights we have 6 kids or so there. We also feed our kids each night. Sometimes parents bring food but most nights teachers/secretaries/maintenance and aides at our school bring meals. We use a signup schedule. Kids don't like to miss since we really feed them well.
