[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$$$ explains the school's motivation but not the parents. I'll never understand why parents get so over invested in sports. You're supposed to learn something to move ahead professionally. The sports thing is really short sighted in terms of a kid's career and long term happiness and sucess[/quote] Good point. I've seen parents complain about playing time on the JV level, or who is elected JV team captain. It is hard for me to imagine anything less significant in the universe than who is team captain of a jv high school team. (Okay, maybe the Khardashians come first in colossal insignificance, but jv team captain is right up there).[/quote]
