[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are traveling for the eclipse (though my kids are too young for this to be an issue). I would travel. Your kid is too young to understand what this once in a lifetime opportunity means, but in the long run he will remember. There were a couple times my parents simply pulled rank on me w.r.t. high school activities, and they were right to do so in retrospect. I remember those things way more than the school activities I missed.[/quote] +1 Don't leave it up to your kid. He will almost certainly say he wants to stay for practice because he's only concerned with making the team and the immediate impact on his life. You have the perspective and long-term understanding to realize that the eclipse is a really unique event and sports practices aren't actually the highest priority in life.[/quote]
