[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I think that "culture of achievement" referred to really is just helicopter parenting..making sure Billy always has someone right by his side making sure things go well.  Grades slip..here is a tutor.  Like French?  Let's go to France this summer.  Raise your hand in your tiny class, instant attention.  I am not sure this creates a self sufficient, self inspired individual.  There are many parts to an education and self sufficiency is a huge one.[/quote]

I do think this is true in elementary school. We went to a school,with 13 kids in a class and nothing went user the radar, which could have easily happened in a class of 28.

But middle schools is really tough, 2-3 hours of homework, lots of independent learning, little to no hand holding. Kids have to work hard no matter how smart they are, maybe the top 2 kids find the work easy(ish).

People act like their kids are straight A students but the truth is, B's are great with a few A's. who will ever look at middle school grades anyway and kids need to work hard for their grades.[/quote]
