| I am also a teacher introvert, but I do think it is important for kids to have at least one outside activity a season. They need the social practice and they need extracurricular things to put on their college applications. I know it’s a long way from a twelve-year-old until college, but there are social skills that are built in extracurricular activities that will be needed. They also need practice hosting a friend and being a guest at someone’s house. So come up with minimum requirements and try to get those in place. |
