This is a good point and we have this problem in the US and England currently. I was recently talking to my aunt (who lives in London) about her son's school and extracurricular activities. He's around 11 and has tutors to prepare him for his entrance exams for the next level of private school (I guess this is the equivalent to American high school?). He has German and Spanish tutors who he meets with several times a week, singing lessons, soccer/football practice, piano lessons, etc.

It seems like a really awful way to grow up.
