I totally get that. I had a French class at a previous college that was one of those immersion-style classes, and though I was doing pretty decent at picking up the language, having to perform in front of my teacher and the class threw me into an absolute panic. That class was total torture.
Yeah, I grew up wishing I were better at math, knew an instrument, and spoke two languages, and have been trying to inflict all these things on my children. Chances are good they will never forgive me.
I did, too. :( That's awesome you're inflicting it on your kids though, and you know one day (probably when you're dead and it's no comfort to you) that they'll be glad they had that experience. I often think, "If I had kids, I would ___(fill in some horrible torture here)" and then I remember that in order to do that I'd have to have kids, and I'm just so not prepared to go there. ;D
