[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academic parents can be intense and competitive, but I've seen no crazy ones. Sports parents, on the other hand, with the shouting and the insults...[/quote]

Where would you see Academic parents in their setting?  Standing behind their child at the SAT's screaming in their face to finish?   You don't see them because they are at home abusing their children to take the top classes, to get only A's, to guilt them when they get any grade lower, to deny them socialization, etc...

we are academic parents. We encourage and help when needed. Sorry your kid is an academic failure and you need to take it out on us. [/quote]

Ha! Spot on, PP!

We have a great student "taking the top classes and getting only A's' who's into theater and music. We do go to her performances and applaud accordingly, but schoolwork takes priority. [b]She's never been into any kind of team sports, thank God![/b][/quote]

Yes because teamwork, exercise, mental toughness, not sitting inside all day long, is just absolutely terrible.  :roll:

So glad you applaud accordingly for the one thing you allow your child to do besides stick a book in her face.  Kudos! [/quote]
