[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] You are so misguided. Absolutely parents plan the journey. What sports to play and which activities to do. It is a 100% planned![/quote] You are embarrassingly wrong. I have one of those kids that loves to argue with people so reads up on topics he is interested in, follows his passions with his extracurriculars and that comes through when you know him and on his app, and is academically driven and self-motivated. Also plays a travel sport. We actually encourage him to dial it back, but that’s not his nature. There may be kids who do it for packaging, but I would think by high school it would be almost impossible to force your kid into ECs, etc.[/quote] +1 by high school kids might get a little help or nudge by parents, but most of the high achieving ones are able to do so on their own accord. At that point the standard has been set internally and changing that would take a lot of help from the parents, which mostly doesn’t happen[/quote]
