Now, my son (3rd grade) is finished with school at noon

also quite different than in the US.

Yes, my 3rd grader doesn't get home until 3:30pm.

My dgd will be in preK from 8 am to 3 pm. I think it's a
long day, but it's the norm here for the public schools.

yeah, Boo's (private) school is 8:30am-3pm for K-9th grade.
preschoolers have the option of half day ending at 11am.
Tom thinks Boo would like Cub Scouts, but unless it's right
after school there's no way it's going to happen. he gets
ready for bed at 7pm & some nights he's way overtired by then
already. any activities starting at 6:30pm are just out of the
question. how does a kid get enough sleep if they are up until
8:30 or 9pm for activities and get up at 5 or 6am for school?
