[quote=Anonymous]I was a cheerleader in junior high and then on the pom squad in high school. Loved it all, especially poms. Was also super academically motivated, went to a top 20 university and still bust my poms dance moves out now and again. Most of my good friends were also on poms and the social aspect was a highlight of high school. Poms was considered less cool than cheer for what it's worth. The sport has morphed a bit but I think like any sport or activity there are minuses and drawbacks. I have a friend who is a pediatric oncologist whose daughter just got into UVA from an Ohio public school and cheer was her main activity. Kid is super smart, just loves being on the cheer squad. Doctor incidentally stood next to me on the poms kick line and also played the cello so doesn't have to be either-or I think. Anyway, point is - smart people can cheer.[/quote]
