[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is frustrating when the time commitment is enormous. I would hope that schools would give some "credit" to a kid who plays a varsity sport and manages to do well academically because that type of work ethic will get them far in life, even if it may not help with college admissions.[/quote] Ahem. My non-athletic kid also has a good work ethic, mind you. 🙄[/quote] Athletics are one way that a kid can show work ethic and the ability to handle a large workload and changing schedule. Colleges like that. The very top colleges might want more than that, but it’s a great start But athletics are just one way. Kids can show work ethic and the ability to manage a challenging schedule. They can do so through theater or music or robotics or a part time job. [/quote]
