[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But you must realize your young child won’t necessarily want the big extrovert focus you and husband seemed to enjoy. So wait and see over time what you think is best for them.[/quote]

Agree. I came from the kind of place that had parades for the high school football team, which was always in the running for a national championship rank. I was all in. DH is sports obsessed and played sports though college.

My children absolutely despise ball sports and couldn't be paid to go to a high school football game. That just isn't who they are. They are having an amazing teen experience living in a city like DC, and they love their tiny high school for its intellectual and international atmosphere. Their lives are completely different from our childhoods in pretty much every way, and I couldn't imagine a better childhood for who they are and what they want to become. If we moved back to either of our hometowns and sent them to our high schools, they would be begging to go to boarding school.

However, if they were looking for the rah rah sports life in a high school around here, I would send them to one of the bigger Catholic high schools, like Gonzaga or St. John's College High School.[/quote]
