[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't see a math club bros culture or a tennis bros sub-culture at other schools. You are entitled to be a lunatic if is suits you; no judgement just an observation. If it pumps your tires to someday see junior twirl a butterfly net on a partial scholarship at a college someday, that sounds neat.

Wrong again.  I know theater cliques and robotics groups and my kid's school that take on many of the same characteristics.  "I heard so and so got into UMichigan or NYU theater programs". "Can you believe that he/she was waitlisted at Caltech and MIT and had to settle for RPI"?  Believe what you like, but this stuff exists way beyond boys lacrosse.[/quote]

Good point. Zealots are alive and well in the DMV. Usually has something to do with being devoted parents who are supporting their kids. I have seen the same zeal applied to choir, swimming, crew and drama. This is a competitive place to live and it extends to the parenting process at least as much as it does to the athletic fields. Is that healthy or necessarily fun? Probably not, but it is the status quo in the DC area. You can deny it or try to make yourself an exception, but the ethos permeates the child rearing process around these parts. [/quote]
