[quote=Anonymous]This has not been our experience, but our kids are young yet (late elementary). I don't feel we push academically and both excel at school and on standardized tests. When I say we don't push academically, I mean we don't do any extra websites or enrichment, don't drill math or help them study spelling, don't check at this stage to make sure they do their homework, etc. We do make sure they have time to do what they need to do, that they get enough sleep and that they eat breakfast every day. We do make it clear that school is their number one priority, and that they are expected to do their best. On standardized tests, one consistently tests in 95% or above, the other virtually always 99%. They both earn several ES grades on report cards and they are both two grade levels ahead in reading. The rising fourth grader is going to be in compacted math this fall. [/quote]
