That's true, it's all about knowing your child and also the school system you're dealing with.
I honestly feel that kids need to be kids...they should be allowed time to play and goof off. There is so much pressure on them already by the time they start school, there is no point in adding any more pressure. I guess it's all about finding balance, teaching kids responsibility, while allowing them to be human, make mistakes and encouraging them to achieve to the best of their ability.
No one ever said being a parent was easy and I still haven't found the "user's manual" that should of came with each of my 4 kids. But every second with your kids is SO worth it!
