[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]why the anger in your posts? we make choices on behalf of our kids everyday and mostly to make them a better person. i don't understand why such anger toward one choice or the other, even if you think you've been judged?

What is the rush, and what does the "leg up" actually achieve? (and my kid is ahead in math without the worksheets or the $$$ spent)

Not being snarky -- I just don't get it.[/quote]

Anger?

I just don't get why[b] a human being[/b] would have a problem with young children that excel at club lacrosse and swimming, the violin or the Math Olympiaid?  To develop their mastery these children engage in these activities.  Or [b]do you prefer to tell parents [/b]and the community which daily activities are appropriate for their children to engage?

My friends in NOVA, Chevy Chase and Bethesda have their young children engage in multiple sports (lacrosse, soccer, baseball) during the week and weekends.  Lovely families and children some of whom are very talented in these activities.  I also have friends that have their children engage during the week and weekends in math competitions and music.  Also lovely families and children some of whom are very talented musicians and mathematicians.

From your posts, [b]you have a problem with[/b] the latter group?  [b]You seem fixated[/b] on the ethnicity and race of talented and accomplished very young musicians and mathematicians?  The irony is you do not have a problem (or fixation) with the ethnicity of talented and accomplished very young lacrosse players and swimmers. [b]You seem to forget [/b][b]all[/b] of these talented young children spend time at their craft.

[b]Please don't miscontrue my remarks as anger.  They are simply observations. [/b]
