You can't have everything. The issue I was addressing was avoiding
walking to school in the dark. They can also do honework before school
or at other times. What is the difference if they spend an hour in the
morning doing homework or after school doing the homework? Don' say,
"but they aren't awake yet", since that hour would have been previously
used for school. |
