I think our society is so much more competitive than when I grew up..yeah I am old... they really push more on the kids at an early age.
On the other hand, look at it as a great bonding opportunity with your kids. Having a 18 year old college student and a 14 year old, they tend not to need you as much, except for money of course, so enjoy it. I miss those times. Recently did Flat Stanley for a niece and it was fun. Now working on a math, bridge toothpick project with an overly anal teacher and it is really not a lot of fun.
What pisses me off the most is the fact that programs keep getting cut in our schools. I live in Colorado and am embaressed that our state funds crap for education. I believe we are number 49. I know it is not true for all schools in this state, but really understand why people choose private or charter schools over traditional schools.
