We just got finished with our school "Fall Break". Now I feel a BREAK is just that. I feel children need to get away from school and school activities and recharge their batteries.
Yet during our "break" our chilren had:
-One soccer game(district playoff which is probably unavoidable)
-3 soccer practices
-2 school play practices!!(the play isn't until ..........FEBRUARY!!). And, of course the play coordinator has 2 small kids not in school yet.

Now I realize I could just not have my child be active in such things and we'd be able to avoid this. But we want our kids to be exposed to more than just school. Is this the price we should pay for such?

I think things could be scheduled better and things like a school play practice be put off and even soccer pratice be put off during breaks.
