Nowadays more and more middle school students are taking all kinds of training classes or having private totors at weekends.There are two different views about it.
They think these classes will make students be dependent and they won't think questions by themselves.Also, students need time to relax.On the other hand,some classes even just want to make money from the parents so they are even bad for the students.
In my opinion,taking training classes is OK if the students really want.And if they don't want,parents shouldn't push them so hard.
