[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sports obsession in the DC area is real. I don’t get it myself. I think it’s just another way for parents to be competitive. It’s kind of sick to be honest. Elementary school should be fun and child-like, not a bunch of little kids trying to act like pro sports players.[/quote] I disagree, to an extent. I think sports is GOOD for kids. It's exercise and helps them make friends. A little competition is good for us. What's not good is how busy DMV parents keep their kids. It's not just 1 sport, it's multiple, and a year round schedule. Plus, hebrew/chinese/church, math tutors, homework etc...when do they get to play in the snow? be with their families? RELAX?? Then there's the parents who have no social life or time to themselves because all they do is work, volunteer for the school and schlep their kids around. [/quote]
