[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been consistent with my kids doing extra math since K.
Now, it is clear that they need extra help in the language arts areas. 
That would mean extra lessons every day in at least two subjects.
I follow the curricula in science and foreign languages and just reinforce what is being taught in school. But for math, I have a separate curriculum but try to go along with what is actually being taught in the classroom. Now, for language arts, I have been considering outside tutoring which would likely be a whole new approach (I think they need a new approach). 
Is this too much? [b]Does it label me as a tiger mom[/b]?
FWIW, they do very well in math, probably because of the extra support that I give them. That gives them a self esteem boost. [/quote]

Yes.

After school = enrichment. Sports, music, art...

But drill and kill on academic subjects? Ugh.[/quote]

I'm impressed that you are able to tell from the OP's post that the OP is doing "drill and kill".[/quote]
