I have underlined why someone would get tutoring for their kids even if they are not struggling.  Why would you assume that their kids would suffer burnout? You may have valid concerns for your own child's capabilities to cope with extra tutoring - but you are projecting that concern on other people's children.  What if these kids thrive because of these kinds of tutoring? We cannot presume to know either what the parents motivations are and where the kid interests lies - for another family.

Yes, many in low SES take their kids to the library and focus on enrichment.  Unfortunately, in MCPS - majority of poor performing students are also falling in low SES categories. So this is a generalization which works for the majority of children but not all.  Perhaps, it is cultural. I would suggest regardless of race and SES, if the parents are  well educated they will emphasize education for their children.

I don't think that's true. Or maybe I'm not a good parent. What I want for my children is good enough. I'm not going to drive myself nuts worrying about the very best.[/quote]
