[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My children were/are in general ed. I don't buy into the academic arms race at such a young age. I'm Finnish and follow the Finnish educational model. My kids did fine in FCPS grade school -- good, not stellar -- but I didn't push them beyond what was reasonable for their ages. So, opposite of "tiger mom." They are children, they need to play and be creative. They need to learn how to be good people. Learning should not be so stressful at a young age. My children are now ramping up each year in secondary. Straight As, all honors, awards, all of those types of things. That's nice. Relax, and let them be children. Set them on a good trajectory in grade school, and help them find their motivation. The success will come. [/quote] OP here. I’m also not from the U.S. and tend to share your point of view. But I also want to make sure my kids get a good education. [/quote]
