[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My answer to the general question is no even before knowing academics come first. I wonder about the significant time commitment of any heavily coached and structured activity. To push an average child to be a bit better comes at a cost. There would be so little time and space for other brain development at that critical age (think creativity and flexible thinking). [/quote] I agree with you, academics are important, but so is time to just be a kid. Which, depending on the activity and the intensity is alot harder, time wise.[/quote] When an activity is highly structured, kids aren’t being kids.[/quote] They are kids, but they don't have as much unstructured, unorganized kid time.[/quote]
