thank you, I was wondering about this because reading here shows me parents are doing more traditional academics than I have done.
I don't think most people here are doing a lot of traditional academics outside of school.
I tend to push DS8 a bit more on his homeschooling work this year, but only for official schoolwork, and that's because I want him learning a work ethic rather than because I want him to achieve more.
I'm not unusual. I know many of us here are child-led like that and not pushing achievement. I'd guess it's the majority, in fact.
People who do more formal afterschooling usually do it because their particular kids need it, crave it, are miserable without it. Not because their kids would underachieve without it.
I could be wrong (and often am!) but that's my perception.
