[quote=Anonymous]Some kids ARE excelling (personal best) when they are archieving low Bs. Additional hours studying aren't going to help. On the other hand, exercise helps build healthy bodies and release stress. And sports foster self-control, decision-making, and team work skills. I teach and used to also tutor. Initially, I had your mindset. Then I worked with several driven families with B- star athletes. These families willingly paid for $70 an hour tutoring four times a week (I was just one subject) and all they got for their money was frustrated kids who would have been better off going to bed an hour earlier. Swim practice is ridiculously early.[/quote]
