[quote=Anonymous][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]

Do you live in a neighborhood with bad public schools?  [/quote]

I wouldn't say that -- Chevy Chase DC.[/quote]
