[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing wrong with your kid putting hours and hours in to studying and homework, my kid just puts his time into sports.  Both can end up on the same school.  Colleges want both.[/quote]

We are aware.  Should higher education be focused on admitting more scholar scholars and less on admitting more scholar athletes?   Some say yes and some say no.[/quote]

1 vote for more scholar scholars.[/quote]

So you want your kid to attend a school of all nerds that spend their hours studying and doing research?  IMO college is about developing a person; academics is big part of that but not the entirety.  You wouldn’t attend a school that was 100% classes.  The college experience is more than studying - there are clubs, greek like, student government, etc.  [/quote]

[b]I know students in other countries.  They go to sporting events if they choose.  They are admitted into higher academic programs because of academic achievement.[/b][/quote]

Yet it's [i]this[/i] country's higher education system that's the envy of the world.  And in many of these other countries that you're referring to, college admissions is determined by cutthroat competition and testing and tracking, and you're told at 16 what your field of study can or cannot be.

No thanks.[/quote]
