YOU couldn't do it. Clearly. But there are people out there that could do as well if not better.
Fucking swimming lessons are the first thing you list? Yeah, it takes a damn genius/private school to teach a kid to swim. Jesus. Maybe next week they'll work on bike riding.
My point is all the extracurricular activities they get to do as well as socialising with their friends and other children their own age. They have their little concerts they put on every year too (not my scene but I endure it for the sake of my child). They have identified special gifts and are enhancing and providing special attention to those gifts. Not to mention a standard of behaviour that is expected from the children.
At least I don't turf my kids out the door like you do and shove them away in boarding school. I think the concept of boarding school is horrific.
