[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't/didn't. I have two in college, one going into middle school and one in elementary school. I push critical thinking skills, problem-solving, we read a lot (we go to the library once or twice a week, I'm always in the middle of a book, etc.) they all got piano lessons two or three times a week, and we travel a lot. The kids don't realize it, but I pushed foreign language (I sent them to camp in foreign countries). There were never any "worksheets" during the summer. No Kumon, no hour of math each summer, etc. When my two oldest needed tutors (at their request) we got them private tutoring at our house. [/quote] The last sentence of this post is why I push my kids academically. We can't afford private tutoring. I think it is the only way my kids can compete.[/quote]
