[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.5 hours a day in the summer? 
Is this what most people do? 
Is this why all the kids seem advanced...they're being taught the next year's curriculum over the summer? [/quote]

No.  They don 't.

I am skeptical about this poster.

Most people do cooking, calculating road trips, helping budget for groceries, etc for summer teaching tools.

Why are you skeptical?  I stay home and have always bought books for the year ahead (reading comprehension and math) for my kids to do an hour or so each day.  An hour to 2 hours is nothing.  My kids also take art and swim lessons all summer and play outside every chance they get.  I just make it part of their summer schedule.  Heck, two of my neighbors have their kids attend academic camps.  I just want to make sure my son doesn't struggle.  There are 8 kids in his class that get pull outs and my son doesn't.  Kids will be more advanced and I want to help him.  So I started with multiplication, he knows up to the table of 5, and will continue 15 minutes a day doing the rest. I just wanted to know what else to focus on, that's it.[/quote]
