[quote=Anonymous]In 6th grade, one of my kids wanted to be a football player and the other one wanted to be a NASCAR driver - based on what they saw their sports heroes doing on t.v. Of course, they had never been to a football practice in the hot summer heat, they had never been tackled on the field, driven or crashed up a car, etc. Were those realistic goals for them? No. But what kid doesn't want to grow up to be a sports star? I guess I just don't know all that many 6th graders who have a clue as to what field they'll pursue as an adult. My kids have interests beyond sports, some of those interests are pretty in depth actually. But I don't know if they could realistically narrow their focus down with a very specific goal/field in mind. Not in 6th or 7th grade. How many kids really do that? How do you handle it when a smart, even older, kid doesn't have a clue? [/quote]
