A subject near and dear to my heart - thank you for this, Kyrios!
You've gotten so many replies already.
Our daughter lived in Spain one year and even those kids were pressured to perform, excell in extra-curricular as well as academic pursuits, and never get free time to just play and imagine and be.
I hope this idea catches one: "Free-Range Kids, Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry"
Book by Lenore Skenazy

It is one thing that books shouldn't be teaching us. Educational systems should already know this by themselves. Giving too much homework and assignments is detrimental to the child's mental health. Rather than finding it a task that they should enjoy, they will start to hate it more. We should be fostering them in a way that they love education and add interactive activities which make them have fun. They should also have plenty of free time to do other activities so that they can enjoy themselves while they are children. Adult life is tough enough as it is already why should they be forced to not have the time of their life without stress and heavy responsibilities while they have the chance.
