We see kids from kindergarten through high school who are stressed out and not reaching their potential in school because they're doing too much. Even preschoolers now have activities! Our grandson who was already in a private preschool three days a week had toddler gymnastics and even little kid karate (which he didn't like). As if preschool wasn't enough activity. At least he didn't have homework! Oh, I so agree with you.

I always thought it was just something they said to all the kid's parents who did crappy in school, but they've said it to my mother year after year as I pull through every semester with C's and D's. Honestly, I believe that the reason I do so bad in school is because school doesn't attend to my needs well enough. I go to school and have to ask when I want to take a piss, can't wear a hat, and I'm treated like I imagine criminals in federal prison are treated. (Of course I realize that I'm being extreme, but you get the point, right?). Anyway, I've found that in the workforce I do a lot better. I work 72 hour weeks and never miss a day of work. I just want to keep working and living at home to save my money up, then I'm going to start writing. School just isn't that important to build real knowledge, not for me at least. School is a place for the kids who are going to do the jobs that make the infrastructure of America. I believe that I am needed in some other realm of work, a kind that you can't learn in school.
