[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mature kid would find a way to deal with the situation and not quit. if you don't like couple of kids in the club because they appear to be immature, you don't just "pick up the ball and go home". That is not showing maturity. Quitting and forming another club is not learning how to deal with a problem and it sounds like whining. I don't think this should be such a difficult concept to grasp.[/quote]

Clearly you're wedded to the race to nowhere, so trying to explain common sense to you is a waste of time.  But I'll try:

Mature high school kids who are into math and winning national competitions have a justifiably low tolerance for babies ( a few of whom seemed to be there because their parents thought it would look good on their TJ app.) distracting them from trying to learn.  My son was not alone in quitting and in fact went with a group to the director to express their concerns. She was reluctant to confront the younger kid's parents. Fortunately, another established club, with much higher standards of admission was only to happy to recruit them.

I supported him in this situation because a) he's got a good track record of solving his own problems and running his own life, and b) I thought he and his friends done their best to endure an situation that was no longer enjoyable or productive and was not going to change because the parent managing it had no control.   Immaturity would have been sitting around and complaining about it, which they did not do.  They got on with their lives.  [/quote]
