[quote=Anonymous]My kids are Middle School A students. Both in advanced math (IM 6th and Geometry 8th) and Languages. So I am not exactly what you are asking about. But still, I personally would love if they spent the 12hours + a week doing academic things instead of the sports they do -- or at least 50% and less competitive Sports. I truly would, travel sports suck all our time. But my kids would not spend the 12 hours doing anything productive. They would play on phones, watch tv or socialize. So I really do not look at it as an either or. They put enough time in school to do well enough but nothing extraordinary. But they enjoy the sports and want to do it. So I let them choose. It had nothing to do with thinking they will get athletic scholarships. And it irks me how every non sport parents think that the parents of kids that play sports are looking for athletic scholarships. [/quote]
