This is in this area sports are the things that the UMC strivers can’t just throw enough money at to allow their kids to “compete” if the kids are just not athletes. (Which look around at your fellow parents- they’re not.)

Academics aren’t such a huge concern to this demographic, in that the kids probably have a baseline level of intelligence such that some extra tutoring can easily close any gaps. But the genes passed down from their uncoordinated, short, dork fathers can’t be so easily overcome on the court or on the field. And it infuriates them.

Well…my kid goes to SJC which sends tons of kids to D1 programs (and the WCAC sends plenty of kids to professional sports teams).

When I look around I see lots of parents with good genes. Most are UMC as well.

Sorry I wasn’t clear. My post was referring to real sports, not crew, lacrosse, or water polo.

Huh? So football, basketball and baseball aren’t real sports?

SJC routinely sends football players to Power 4 schools, had 2 NFL players drafted this pas year, and WCAC had 2 players drafted in the first round (damn Gonzaga).

Do you not know what the WCAC is?

Apologies again. I thought those schools were at least academically competitive. Maybe your DH is the smart one?

No…it’s just that you are full of shit and you don’t actually have a kid that attends a sports powerhouse school. You have no clue about the demographics…you don’t even know about the WCAC?

Catholic high schools all around the country have top sports programs. SJC isn’t on the list of top 25 sports high school and its admittance rate is pretty high. But it’s a Catholic school so sports are priority.

Get over it. Everything is competitive. You have to prepare your kids for it. You can compete without tearing others down.
