[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much does your upper ES and middle school kid miss school due to travel for hockey and how much does it matter?[/quote] You value hockey over education? Elementary school hell no What’s wrong with you ? [/quote] AAA hockey is so expensive that it creates a selection bias toward wealthier families. Many MC and even UMC parents simply can't afford the high costs or take the time off work that AAA hockey demands. Despite the time away from school, our kids are mostly excelling academically. We communicate with their teachers in advance of absences to stay on track. For those who show talent, we get them out of the DMV and send them to New England prep schools, where they get recruited to play in the NESCAC and eventually land jobs in fields like investment banking. We are necessarily a privileged group and don't need to stress about missing elementary school. [/quote]
