[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None.  DS is entering 6th.  This thread has been a real eye-opener.

Where do you all live?  How would you describe your culture/ethnicity/race/country of origin?

Nobody I know in my neighborhood does this,[b] nor do DS's classmates at his independent school in DC.[/b][/quote]

Wrong. Likely every kid is doing something. We are also at private school and my DD started off the summer with a similar complaint.  Talking to the moms, I have found that every kid is doing something either a workbook, camp, or tutoring.  Summer break for privates this year is really long. [/quote]

I'm not wrong. I know most of the parents well by this point. It's a smallish progressive private and I've known  the moms and some dads for years and I seriously doubt they lie -- their kids would accidentally rat them out eventually.  They're 12.

We are not a "workbooks" group of parents.  That's why we pay $35k a year per kid to avoid public school pedagogy and curriculum in the first place. [/quote]

I am the PP you are replying to.  My child attends a progressive school.  I assure you the parents are doing this.  They aren't telling you and they tell their kids not to talk about it around you because they know what your attitude is and don't want to deal with the self righteousness.  [/quote]
