All the kids I knew in those programs hated it. Last thing they wanted to do after school was more school. They wanted to play games or sports but their parents decided being an A student in elementary school is better than any potential social or physical development.
- DowagerDave 2y agoWestern society loves to make every kid "special" either in their challenges or abilities.
