Take into consideration that cos teachers are accustomed to the average spore parent who is result-oriented, they might be giving you the sales pitch they think you want to hear. Not that they are actually that academic focused.
Perhaps the schools you've visited are ones which feel the need to maintain a high standard academically.
Looks and sounds impressive to the parents who are academically inclined but not to others like yoursef, perhaps? When I was doing my very brief visiting of CCs, not that my decision was based on anything but proximity to home, I told the persons attending to me that I was not interested in academics if not I would've slapped away the next workbook they tried to show me or at the mouth reciting their syllabus.
Mebbe easier to be like Lin and myself. Don't research so hard, convenient can liao. Ha. We're both happy with kids' schools right? ;-p

D poos in the loo but will sometimes try his luck at insisting on pooing in a diaper. Try to put it on himself when we refuse to help him. Ha. We praised him to high heavens (you would think he'd won the nobel prize and oscar that night) when he first did it and that worked well enough. ;-)
