sunday studies for kids
my wife is having my second grader do studies every sunday from 11 am to 5 pm - only breaks are for lunch and snacks etc. is this regular practice? wife doesnt want to hear anything from me and wants him to be the best in academics. is this usually in every home? how much time over weekend so your young kids (if you have) spend doing workbooks and studies?
Is she from Asian origin?
We are Indian
Not normal. Kids should be able to get outside and explore, play at the park, free time. You need to take control and allow your kids to be more creative, not just studying all the time unless that's their choice.
Kids shouid be kids. I am not a fan of taking up every second of a kids life with sports or academics. But if a child needs extra help, fine, but it should not take away their childhood or their time with family.
Utter nonsense! 2 hours with a break is fine. Just go form the habit. They need to do other things too, like exploring outside of books.
Sounds dystopian
Exactly what I was thinking. Kids spend too much time in school already (who decided 40 hours + homework was absolutely needed?), if this becomes the norm let's just call it quits as humans
Yeah I think you need a $5 million house to get a good public school in California at this point. That’s the trick finding a decent school so you can have a real life on the weekends.
Weekends are to play and explore outside world. Trust me practical knowledge is much useful than solving workbooks
Would u work on Sundays ?
This is kinda overkill for a second grader
Working on the Sabbath is forbidden. Stop this practice before the Lord steps in.
We do one or two hours on the weekend where we feel they need support. The rest of the weekend is mainly other family activities, beach time, friends, theatre, birthday parties and stuff
