[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 462348, member: 2322"] You know we are facing similar questions in a way. Maybe these kids are just plain right. maybe if he can be as proficient as the teacher demands, he shouldn't have to practice more than 5 minutes a day. Maybe for him practicing the same things for 75minutes isn't going to make him appreciably better. Maybe the question to the teacher is, am I meeting your standards in 5 mins a day? What can you help me to make me a much better musician and make it worth the while to practice 75 mins? Maybe sometimes our kids, with their defiance and stubbornness really do see the flaws in the system. So do we tell them to put up, or do we help them challenge the system? [/QUOTE]
