[quote=Anonymous]This is sometimes how I feel about the FCPS HS my kids go to which is very competitive for a number if activities. In some cases maybe you technically are in the group but you are never going to get to go to a competition or event unless you’re one of a few elite kids. This includes both non-athletics and a lot of the athletics. It’s a shame because I think it prevents some kids from trying and experiencing things they’d be good at and enjoy. I’ve heard UVA is difficult in this way. I would guess it’s a problem at larger and competitive schools. You are only going to have so many spots for students to do a particular activity. Correct me if I’m wrong but I would imagine the smaller the school this is less of an issue regardless of how many Tracy Flick types there are around.[/quote]
