[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks are kinda piling on OP, but I get the concern. We expected good grades and test scores in rigorous classes from our kid, and he ended up playing on school and club teams whose focus was sending kids to top D1 college programs. So, his teachers would be assigning a hour of homework a class and offering optional but kinda required study session for AP classed before school and on weekends. Meanwhile, the norm among DS’s teammates was to do basketball activities from right after school until at least 7:30 every day and all weekend. Coaches acted like kids had no homework (and many of DS’s teammates did none) and teachers acted like kids did nothing but study. [/quote] Kids in marching band or theater might have exactly the same challenges. Again, these are completely optional additional activities. [/quote]
