[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the child. I had 2 go to the Blair magnet and they had 2 different experiences. Neither did sports. One child is Type A, very organized, disciplined, and driven. They were extremely active in robotics and one year they were in a youth orchestra outside of school. Extremely extroverted, they had a close knot group of friends, and also watched TV with the family and played an online game. One child has perfectionist tendencies, and isn’t great with organization, scheduling, etc. Homework took over their life and they burned out. Senior year, I pressured them to take study hall, which helped some, but they were stressed, and encouraging extracurriculars seemed to add more stress. Their extracurriculars were limited, and encouraging them to try more, or even spend time with the family just seemed to add more stress. They really blossomed in college, where the academic demands weren’t as extreme. [/quote]
