It's currently 11:47pm. I got home at 11:12pm. Where was I all day? I was at play practice. I was at play practice from 4:30 until 11:00pm. School ended at 3:30, and I took an hour to eat an early supper because I didn't get a dinner break at practice. I'm currently eating my second supper and trying to finish up some homework for tomorrow.

So, is it right for a school associated activity to keep their students up this late and then expect them to finish homework?

How late should extracurricular activies run?

Depends.

Practice shouldn't go for more than an hour or two.

But if it's a game/actual performance..


For example, Track prcatice goes from 3:15 to about 4:30 for me.

Meets range from 3 to 7ish.

Meh. When I was in high school that was par for the course for play practices, especially if it was getting into tech week.

Right on! I don't do them because I don't give a f*ck about my school. 131wank

Seriously though, I've never heard of extracurricular activities go on for as long as you guys have mentioned. I use to do one that last until 6PM but that was only once a week. NEVER have I heard of them going on until 11PM or even more surprising 3AM. Maybe that's why you guys have higher education levels than Aussies. 13

No maybe about it. 313

Oi!

I've had play practice really late. I don't think there's a right time for it to end, it just ends when it ends.

No, I'm talking about me. I'm not from the North or South, I'm from the West, so what does an Aussie who calls Americans 'Yanks' and 'Confederates' call a guy from California? Christ already.

Hey, settle down, I was joking.

I'm usually the guy who corrects Australians when they refer to Americans in general as "Yanks" (which is more or less pretty uncommon in the first place). Also an Aussie doesn't really distinguish by calling them Yanks or Confederates. It's either Yank or if you have a southern accent they'd call you redneck or hillbilly. So as far as my Californian accent knowledge goes if someone was actually ignorant enough to call you a name it'd be Yank, I suppose. srug

Extracurriculars are a waste of time.

No later than 6 PM because you still gotta get food, homework, sleep and all the other day to day things in.

But it also depends on what the activity is and what time it starts.

I played football from 3:30 p.m to 7-8 p.m at night on scool nights 4 times a week, It effected my school work alot..

Our sports practices are 2-3 times a week for 1-2 hours(not including matches). Some of our top sport players are also top in academics, so it doesn't help you blame too little time, it is also about how well you manage your time.

Kinda hard to manage my time when im at school from 7 a.m to 7p.m when I get home im pooped.

Yeah I understand that, but I'm sure there is times when you have time to do school work and that's when you gotta seize the moment, and even doing like 30 minutes of homework on a day that you do have sport, won't kill you. :P

To be honest I never even got homework..I dont know if it was because I was MVP or my teachers were just lazy?

No one's making you play football. It's a choice you made and if it gives you less time to do your other things, well, that's no one's problem but your own. It's up to you to learn to manage your time.

No thank you..sports is way more important than managing my time (which would be chill at home and play games)

Then you can't complain. :P

Not really complaining, I wish practice was longer x_grin

When I went to school and was in brownies it last till six or seven.I think it should not be too long for kids need to get homework done and should get alittle time by themself.
In highschool I was not involve in any activities at school so I would not know what time it end but my guess late.So to answear your question to get home at eleven at night is just plain wrong it does not have to be that long.jm

Rofl, you won't get out of school if your grades are bad. >.>

Lol, I already got all my credits, and im on a motocross circuit now, only 17 and i'll be getting paid well over $100,000 a year. I graduate in a month....and the football thing I was meaning when practice was goin on sorry..Which wasnt all that long ago

Meh, i Used to train 4 times a week from 6 till 11 with karate.

Ive done jiu jitsu
