My kids are 12 and 10, and they are coming home after school this year for the first time. My greatest concern is what these kids imagine they can get away with while not being watched. I'm thinking a webcam might be good to see that they are both doing their homework at the table for an hour or so. It would be easy to set up.
Anyway, I think an 11 YO can handle it, but I don't know what it feels like to leave one child alone -- my kids are always together.
