[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP, but wouldn't it be better for the future of the country if instead of encouraging your kids to compete and use all of their energy for something that is highly probable to be nothing more than a hobby in their lives, you have them learn to be aggressive and competitive academics and voracious readers?  Just saying, studying is a learned skill. [b]A PP asked how we use our weekends if not travel sports[/b]...um, our kid in elementary school is learning a second language, going to museums, reading...things that will make a difference to them and to our country.[/quote]

This refrain is really weird to me too. I've seen on other threads people put their kids on a heavy year round sports schedule because they don't want their kids to play video games, or smoke pot, or whatever vice they are afraid of. There are many other things kids can do that cost less and don't put them at risk of serious injuries.

It's very easy to limit screen time and just because kids have free time does not mean they'll be trouble makers. I hate when ppl give these scenarios as valid reasons to overschedule.[/quote]
