[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't think that children doing work outside of school is necessary, then you are almost certainly very wealthy / privileged or very poor. The rest of us do variations of what the woman you've labelled a tiger mom does -- music lessons, drama / dance, sports, religious instruction and perhaps a foreign language. Maybe not all of those things every year or every month -- some activities are summer things for us -- but none strike me as outside the realm of normal, middle class stuff.[/quote] There’s nothing odd about any of the activities. What’s ‘tiger’ is doing 6+ hours of outside instruction each week, particularly when that doesn’t include sports games, instrument practice, or the humanities enrichment activities. Her child must have little downtime, weekdays or weekend.[/quote] And why do you care? [/quote]
