[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s hoping their mediocre soccer skills pay the bills later in life. You know, when they lack the intellectual skills needed for a real career.[/quote] Ooh, I missed this burn to my earlier comment (strengths first). What a false dichotomy. From a mental health perspective, it makes no sense to pull kids from every activity that brings joy to prep for retake after retake. There is a lot of value in music, theatre, sports, debate. Again, my kids have definitely missed a practice or rehearsal once or twice if swamped. And I’m not defending video games if that is how a kid is spending their time (which means they didn’t study) - that’s indefensible. But there is balance to be found. [/quote]
