Of course there are always a few drawbacks with both times.. For instance, if they complete their assignments right after school, they may have rushed through all because they were in a hurry to have some free time. However, doing homework late means that they may either have become tired from doing any activities, or they may not even be able to finish if they wait too late…

I suppose it depends on your child’s preferences, when they’re able to concentrate, and when they just seem more alert and willing to do stuff.

Normally, they would just find other things to do if they were supose to do it before bedtime.

Sidenote: if the homework takes them longer to complete this will decrease their sleeping time and they might get it completed but too tired to understand it fully.

Each kid is different, but if you let them study according to when they are the most alert, you’ll see a huge gain in retention and grades 🙂
