[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But for some reason there's a often a stigma against people who work hard in academics, but no real stigma against people who work hard in sports.[/quote] This. If a kid spends 10-20 hours per week on travel sports, everyone assumes that the kid must really love the sport. If a kid does even 3 hours of extracurricular math, people assume that the parents are forcing the kid. Even on this forum, there are people who insist that no kids would ever want to do extracurricular math, and they only do so to please their parents. The sad part is that there are kids out there who love math and spend a lot of time self-studying and participating in math circles (like my kid), and there are a lot of kids doing travel sports who don't enjoy it and just want to please their parents.
