[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...and if the amount is greater than zero, do you keep this fact a secret? This could include music lessons and language classes.

At my children's schools there was definitely a culture of not wanting other people to know how much supplementing, acceleration, and enrichment we were all doing on the side. A close friend who lives in the Midwest says people are very open about it there.

Do you think people are more secretive about it at good schools or middling schools?[/quote]

My children are in college now. We hired a reading tutor for the one with dyslexia.  One had music lessons for their instrument.  We did typical enrichment activities like libraries, museums, and hiking.  They each had a few activities.  No tutoring to accelerate.  They both did very well academically in HS (one of the DCUM FCPS “pressure cookers”) and in college.  Both attend excellent DCUM approved universities - top ten for their major but not one of the crap shoot schools.
