[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread makes me so sad for kids these days. No wonder suicide is the third leading cause of death in middle school kids. So much pressure.[/quote]

But what you fail to see is that soccer = what makes my kid happy.

Good grades is what he must maintain in order to do what makes him happiest.

Although the schedule he maintains may look crazy to an outsider, it's what he chooses to do in order to maintain his grades and get to do what he loves, which is play soccer.

And the days when he has no practice or on a random weekend when there's no tournament, you know what he's still out doing with friends?  Playing soccer.

Our travel club makes the players turn in their report cards and you can't play with any D's or F's.  If you have too many C's, you're put on probation and must improve or face sitting out games and practice.  I know there are many clubs where this isn't done.  I'm glad we chose one that puts a big emphasis on academics as well as athletics.    [/quote]
