[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very surprised at the amount of ppl who are ok with kids being overscheduled and don't see the downsides of it. [/quote]

Middle class striver mindset. They think all the elementary sports and instrument lessons will set their kids up for elite college admissions as long as they stick with the instrument and sport through high school. And  because everyone in their small orbit does it they think their kids are at a disadvantage if they don't do it too. Truthfully, the HS activities that stand out the most are having a part time job and school service stuff like newspaper, yearbook, and student govt. These soccer-piano kids are a dime a dozen.[/quote]

UMC and UC kids play instruments and sports. You are right. This isn’t enough to get into an elite college. We all know this.[/quote]

Mine will drop sports in college.  None of us care.  Music, well they want to minor in music so money well spent.  They’d prefer to major but we are against that.  [/quote]
