[quote=Anonymous]I suppose someone who has kids in sports could argue why do parents put grades above their child's physical and emotional well being? It's a ridiculous statement. All kids are different and you have to parent the child/children that you have according to your values. BTW- My kids are the typical nerdy straight A students in the highest track in their school. My kids couldn't handle serious sports on top of school and kept up their GPA. I have one child who plays an instrument seriously and another that participates in a casual once a week dance class. Would my kids be better prepared in life if they played a sport 3 times a week on a travel team and had a B average instead- maybe? I don't know. I am doing what I think is right for my kids but sometimes I question myself. [/quote]
