回复 212楼 的帖子 Honestly I don’t think you need my help or any help. I don’t mind sharing my experience but I never feed my kids with anything extra academically. My fear is the opposite. I’m afraid my kids will be bored at school if they’re too far ahead of the class. Anyway, you may not like my choice but there is no right or wrong choices. So long as you’re comfortable and your kids are happy.

FYI - my “各种课后班” was referring to swimming, basketball, and music. None of those are associated with college admissions, but those activities do help my kids build strong body and mind. I was able to juggle between work and the kids so that wasn’t too much of a stretch for me. My second child started AOPS in his 5th grade, there is a huge difference between 5th grade and second grader. I literally bought him the book “intro to algebra” for him to work on when he asked for it. Regarding your question on college, I care because my older one is now in high school, not a second grader. Also, I know some of the colleges quite well because I was involved in campus recruiting earlier in my career and I don’t usually mind sharing what I know. Anyhow, my only piece of advice would be “why the rush?” It’s a journey, not a 50 yard sprint. To be 100% true to myself and you, I just don’t like people spreading anxiety on academic achievement. It’s taking a toll on a lot of people’s mental health, both to the parents and the kids.
因为你主楼和前面的回复都没说你娃上了辅导班上了家教，后面才说，回帖早的网友以为你娃全是自学的，这个兴趣和能力只能是神童/天才。
无所谓。我停止自证啦，爱讨厌讨厌爱judge judge自己觉得咋样就是咋样也不影响现实里大家各自美好的生活。发网上就是用来judge的嘛，我只想知道去私立会不会折腾一圈比割喉高中更差而已。目前也算有点useful info。
我也觉得是坑。
如果是真的应该按天才培养，不用念完13年基础教育。
越描越黑。你的定义是如果不做数学题就只能玩游戏？我家娃二年级的时候就从来没听过也没做过你写的那些数字，但是人家也不是抱着电脑玩游戏。这么小的孩子，我们周围都是几项酱油课外活动。没事跟其他小朋友约着玩或者家长带着逛图书馆，博物馆。当然了，你的字典里也许就只有上大学，这些都属于浪费时间。
还有，这么小的孩子，特别在乎家长的反馈。你的关注点肯定影响他的选择。你家孩子当然属于聪明或者至少是早慧。可是现在高兴的有点太早，说白了就是有抢跑性质。等别的小孩大点兴趣上来了，自己自主学习效率最高的时候，你们家可能学的太久疲了乏了，就会发现你现在的投入ROI是最低的。
此言差矣。2年级AMC8拿奖靠推肯定是推不出来的吧。这肯定是神童了，国内是少科大妥妥的。

你们俩都挺卷的其实，不同的卷而已😂 真正躺平的是我们这种，每天2点放学到9点睡觉之间家长没有任何安排…完全没有after school也没有课外班。娃自己在家爱玩啥玩啥….
哈哈哈， 同意， 卷学习卷体育音乐都是卷， 各自往自己觉得对孩子好的方向卷。
