[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question says it all. Unless your kid is truly scholarship material, I seriously don't understand why you'd let your kid play sports when they are bringing in low Bs. I know colleges like sports because the student seems more well-rounded, but that's stupid if it comes at the expense of grades. [/quote] Most kids will not be scholarship material, OP. Team sports gave me a great sense of team-play that has benefitted me in my career, ten-fold. Social experience ( team building) is a very important part of life. I hope you will see this. Losing( and winning) are a HUGE part of growing and to lose( and win) , as team, are a great way to learn. You are not, always, the one, key player. If you disagree, okay. Pull your kids out of sports and put the pressure on the academics. If that is your priority, these are YOUR kids, it is your choice. [/quote]
