I really can't stand the fact that we are making our children get so serious about life at such an early age. It simply takes the child out of childhood, and makes for more stressed out anal adults. Stuff like this is happening everywhere. I remember in the sixth grade we only had 20 minutes for recess in a six hour school day. Then people wonder why so many kids can't sit still these days. We'd rather sit them in front of the TV than take them outside to blow off some steam. That's part of the reason child obesity is so high--they don't burn any calories any more. My neighbors have a girl in the 3rd grade, and a year ago she told me that she had homework almost every day. Homework in 2nd grade??? What the hell are we doing to our kids???
