[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I probably did this. Even though we chose it, I was overwhelmed. If you want your kids to succeed in American schools, they need to be good at sports. It felt like a hamster wheel I couldn’t get off. Would not choose it again. Have compassion. [/quote] What does "succeed in American schools" mean? I assume it doesn't mean grades, because lots of people get good grades without being good at sports (and vice versa).[/quote] It means “be popular” which is their #1 priority. Same reason they give their kids phones in 4th grade. “I don’t want them to be left out socially”[/quote] Plenty of non-popular kids playing sports and popular kids doing other things. If popularity is anyone's main motivator, which seems pretty sad. But here we are.[/quote]
