I do have her is taekwondo she is currently a yellow belt, the teacher was the one who let me know she was getting pick up by the other students. She had spoken to them that this was not allowed because of safety issues, but it still happens.
((red face)) So much for that advice! Seriously, I would talk to the teacher again, and start looking for another studio. If the teacher's word isn't LAW, then what other unsafe things will be allowed 'in the corners' as the kids get stronger. Around here the whole point of Martial Arts is self disipline.
Glad to hear she has friends - a bit worried that she is enjoying 'help them with their academics' - of course that is a naturally fun activity, but it's not natural, unless at least 20% of the class does this as well. I wish I could put this into works better, but ....the ideal is for kids to be close enough to the main bulk of the others that they can have peer relationships, not helper-helpee relationships.
Enrichment can be many things - workbooks, books to read at her readiness level, discussions over a meal or a walk, telling stories about your childhood, visits to museams, clubs or lectures. In some locations there are 'saturday or afterschool' classes in topics that appeal to bright kids. I've heard it call 'Being an Opportunity Maker' for your child to try a lot of activities and see what she loves to do. Sometimes 'American Girl Doll' clubs end up teaching a lot of history. Check your local library for book clubs. My cousin goes with his son to a 'parent-child' book club at his local library.
Love and More Love,
