Picked up a couple of those activity workbooks they always sell at Aldi, including a language one as DS hasn’t begun any foreign language in school yet. I don’t know if it’s due to covid interrupting schooling, or if their school begins that topic later, but it had me wondering:
Does anyone plan/organise any “extra” learning for their kids? It could be forest school, or weekly drum lessons, or a straight forward half hour of maths workbooks at the kitchen table once a week... Anything regular/organised.
And why do you do it?
My DS is 7, does well in his average state school and (currently!) open to learning. I worry about the cuts to non-STEM lessons, or that he’s not being exposed to all the stuff other kids are, and basically like I could/should do more!
I grew up attending an excellent private school (but outside of the UK) so I’m definitely also constantly comparing his and my education.
Thank you for your personal experiences.
