I did not assume anything.  I asked it.  And you won't know if your ES kid will later suffer burn out or not. You can't see the future, not I for that matter.  But I think [b]kids who are tutored in ES have a bigger chance of burn out later than those who are not.[/b]  Does your kid ever get a whole day just to be a kid, learning to occupy himself, not having anything structured for him?[/quote]

Show me the research.

Also - just because I teach my kid does not mean that my kid does not have a childhood, friends, downtime, unstructured time etc.  [b]I think you may be projecting here.[/b]

If I follow your logic to its conclusion then the kids who are not tutored/enriched etc are 1) low achievers 2) create discipline problems in school  3) are disruptive and disrespectful  4) have  unlimited amount of TV viewing time 5) are being raised on junk food 6) have negligent parents.

Not assuming anything either - just curious to know if I just described your kid!

what am I projecting?  No, you didn't describe my kid. DC is in HGC. Got in with no tutoring.  DC watches TV, plays electronic games, eats some junk food, occasionally misbehaves, has gone to sleepovers, rides the bike way too fast sometimes, skiis down the slope way too fast for my liking.  DCs not perfect...DC is a kid that is living his childhood.  DC doesn't need tutoring in DCs life to make it enriching.  [/quote]

Oh my! This is so strange! Your kid does many of the same activities like many of the kids I know who gets tutored! Who would have thunk?[/quote]
