I suspect I’m being ridiculous, but dd’s school is full of very competitive parents who push and push and push their dc.
Dd1 has, in comparison to some of her classmates, done very little in the way of SATs prep. She’s done a good chunk of the books we bought through school, does her homework etc (including that which is set over holidays) but I haven’t been pushing more regular homework/revision etc. It seems utterly pointless. We still don’t know where she’s going for y7. School A sets initially on SATs; School B (her first choice) is independent and doesn’t even do them. (the school issue is complex and not a simple matter of passing the 11+)
I’ve had a few raised eyebrows/sharp intakes of breath when I admit to not pushing my 11 to breaking point as seems to be prevalent in her class.
Am I wrong in this approach? Dd is likely to do well.
