[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't read past the first page but to answer the question: Because the sports make her happy and the academics don't. (And her grades are fine, fwiw.)[/quote] Same for my son. He loves team sports and hanging out with his teammates. He gets B+ average and is happy as a clam at his Catholic High Scholl which we chose specifically because of its sports program even though we are not Catholic. He is also getting a very good education. I am sure he will get into a main stream college or university that is not ultra competitive and go on to be a happy well adjusted adult. If he loved music or math I would Have encouraged him to pursue that. Each kid is different. [/quote]
