Not the PP but all you have to do is go to Kumon, MathWorks, or any of the after school supplemental study programs and look around.  An extra hour or 2 a day of studying is a good enough indicator of "serious" for me....[/quote]

My kids don't go to Kumon, MathWorks, or any of the after school supplemental study programs. I guess that means that my kids and I don't take school seriously?[/quote]

Not as serious as other families who make time to do extra work. No free meals in life. [/quote]

All after-school supplemental study programs are extra work. [b]Not all extra work is after-school supplemental study programs.[/b][/quote]

? not sure what your pt is but I don't think we are talking about playing basketballs or footballs after school.

NP here.  We take school seriously, do not do Kumon or supplemental study programs after school.  Nor do we do basketballs or footballs.

I'm not sure why we should aspire to the hagwon cram school model, and our family doesn't.[/quote]

+1  I'm Asian.  My DC is in HGC, and DC has never gone to tutors or taken prep tests.  Of course we take school seriously.  When DCs get home, it's HW first before anything else.  I agree, just because we don't do tutors, etc.. doesn't mean we don't take school seriously.  :roll: [/quote]
