[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]is juggling a weekday year round sports easy along with academics?

lets say student returns back from school at 5:30pm and then has sports from 6 to 9:30pm. (including commute)
You can replace sports with orchestra or dance etc.
If activity is missed more than thrice, then they will remove from the team.
the student is in high school doing AP papers. there is a lot of homework and a lot of tests.

is it possible to have this kind of schedule and still succeed in academics?
please discuss.

I have a high schooler who is doing AP/IB courses while juggling 12 hrs/week of  competitive dance classes and playing a fall and a spring sport at school.  She makes it work by using every minute of school day time wisely and forgoing a social life away from these activities.  She knows academics come first (she's chosen a private school and knows I will not pay tuition if she is not putting in the effort)  She's hitting the honor roll consistently but she is also far more focused than she (or I!) ever thought possible.  The key is she is self-motivated.  If we had to push for any of these (sport, dance or academic) she wouldn't be as successful.  [/quote]
