OH I agree. Parents are definitely playing a huge part in this. In fact it's often pressure from parents that is shaping the school system. My opinion is always that children should be doing what they enjoy. If they like doing the same thing six days a week, more power to them, but I would think that most kids would definitely prefer variety. I would imagine that if you can get parents on board, kids will definitely be interested in your center. My kids always loved trying new things.
