Well, apparently there are parents like that, Onyx, just not amongst my friends. I had coffee with a friend whose two DDs go to an elite private school and in her eldest DD's class there is one 8 year old who does 'Saturday school', which is apparently at a tutoring place where they do a whole day of extra lessons. We were both incredulous, but there you have it.
My girls don't do much. They go to an independant school of 20 students total, and well... they don't do much. Matilda has OT every week and thats it. During school holiday's I try to pick up more, and this term for the first time we are trying one activity which is a martial arts class on Saturday (the girls want to be ninja's... maybe you could help them out? )
I've friends whose children go to swimming, dance classes and art classes along with school, but then again our school has a no homework policy so the kids may do more with their time after school?
I found here that its so different to living in QLD where people fit more into everyday, however, I'm not like that.
