[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you assuming travel sports parents ignore academics? My kids play travel sports and make excellent grades. [/quote] Because they think that if soccer Larla says she’s going to a “mediocre” college, it MUST be because larla had terrible test scores in easy classes. Nevermind that I can name dozens of kids who went to small d3 schools because of excellent merit aid, small class sizes, and close-knit community, but DCUM prefers to judge from afar. [/quote] It's because: i) Larla is merely a dime a dozen above average athlete. ii) had crummy test scores. iii) her parents were unable to give up [b]their[/b] dream and had to have her play "[i]at the next level[/i]" even if it's on a no cut college team at a joke college.[/quote] It’s not, but whatever.
