[quote=Anonymous]Tiger mom here. Music lessons take 45 minutes a week and maybe an hour of practice - kids choose the instruments. The ballet, which they love, takes an hour. Same for Sun school. We're a bilingual family with immigrant roots, but not a fully bi-literate family. So we take the kids to weekend heritage language lessons, mainly they can learn to read and write the "foreign" language we all speak decently. Their teachers rock. I'm not remotely impressed with the DCPS humanities curriculum, particularly for social studies. Math, science and fine arts are decent, but not humanities, at least compared to my paraochial schools in the 70s and 80s. Mine hardly learn a thing about world cultures or US history at their school, other than about the Civil Rights Movement during Black History Month. So, yea, we take them to museums and teach them some geography, including flag identification when the Olympics is on TV. Horrors! [/quote]
