Painting and Taekwondo

When I went to pick up my kids, a parent told me not to let my kids work so hard to learn, for example, her kids learn painting on Friday and Taekwondo on Saturday, and only have time to learn and do homework on Sunday.

? The key is that she also said, painting and taekwondo exam level to the college entrance examination are useful, said to give extra points 50 points, this news is the first time I have heard, I am a little disbelieving to ask her whether it is true? I asked her if it was true, because my oldest has been in the college entrance examination for the past 3 years, and I really can't say what has changed, so I checked Baidu and Zhihu, but I didn't find the policy of extra points for the painting and taekwondo exams. I've only heard that such exams may be taken into account when taking exams for key schools in elementary or middle school, but not all key schools require this.

? I don't think I'm out of touch with society, and what I value most is my children's learning and growth. A few days ago, an art tutoring course teacher posted an advertisement, saying that letting a child learn art is not for her to be a painter, so don't be too concerned about the basic skills of painting, saying that it's useless to paint well and not love life, and that the purpose of letting children paint is to let them love life. I'm speechless at such a tutor, and that's what this society needs. Parents listen and love it! But I don't need them, and I won't let my kids learn from them, because you can't learn the skills, she's teaching you to love life, and this parent who can't draw can teach her kids to love life. Why pay to learn from them?
