[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should be using the after school hours to invest in high intensity sports, science, foreign language, music, arts, and community service training. Your kid needs to be flourishing in one or more of these areas at the start of high school to take part in the high level (state and national level) activities that get them noticed by colleges. Academics will ramp up in 9th or 10th grade. Middle school is the time to invest in the activities that matter to you and your child that the school can’t provide. [/quote] I would prefer them to ramp up in middle school before grades matter. Elementary is better for this. By middle school, most kids know their interests already.[/quote]
