<p>Why does it matter what other parents think? They may have different reasons (e.g. they may live closer to school A, so the commute time is less of an issue for them), but their situations are not the same as your situation.</p>
<p>Here is how the daily time budget for school A comes out to be:</p>
<p>7 hours of school
1.67 hours of commuting
5 hours of homework (if it cannot be done while commuting)
= 13.67 hours</p>
<p>That leaves 2.33 waking hours for all other weekday activities, including home life and extracurricular activities, if she sleeps 8 hours per night.</p>
