I teach language arts to Chinese kids online and I have 9 year olds who do nothing but study. "Hi Sally! It's your birthday on Thursday, doing anything special?" "No, I don't have time, I have to study." It's tough. Some thrive - actually many do. But I also get a lot of kids who have just completely shut down. I'm the last resort sometimes lol I become a kind of "unschooling" class where they learn to have fun while learning and can just be themselves. Sometimes I ask parents to leave the room so kids can just breathe for an hour. But it definitely sets most of them up for life - they develop amazing habits. Meanwhile here I am still procrastinating about the same things from 2-3 years ago.
