No, she doesn’t. She thinks people shouldn’t push their kids so hard.
Read the fourth paragraph, answer the question:
Does Dr. Green agree with Cathy or Linda
What does she say
She agrees with Linda. She says kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children.
What do you think of after-school classes
In my opinion, if the kid really likes the activity such as basketball, he can go to these classes. They may have some fun as well some skills. I don’t agree that some parents push the kids to take these activities.
Discuss the questions with your partner.
