[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is a bright kids in 7th grade AAP with straight As. I want him to focus on academic learning including math competition but he plays baseball 6 days a week and 3-5 hours each day. In his spare time, he is on the phone playing chess or other video games. He never does his school work at home. When I asked about his homework, he said he finished at school. I am debating if he should continue travel baseball.How useful it is for the college application? He is one of the top players on the travel team. [/quote] Purely in terms of college admissions, baseball has a pretty low ROI, but the real benefits are social and emotional. Math competitions are also great (and have a better college ROI) but you don't need to throw him in the deep end right away. Get the book Competition Math for Middle School by Jason Batterson and AoPS prealgebra and work through the problems in them with him[/quote]
