I know folks whose children's extra-curricular activities do not include sports but are Kumon and math/school related. These are not because the child is struggling either. That makes me want to vomit. Something tells me this study would be confirmation of that behavior.

I agree with your sentiment, and I think a bigger problem is the reverse. Kids are so over-burdened with homework that their parents take them out of all sports and activities. I do think that 13 hours a week seems a reasonable target to stay under though.
