[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t every extra curricular activity technically pay to play? I play for my kids to be on a soccer team, I pay for them to be on a swim team. I pay for SAT prep, I pay for music lessons. I pay for summer camp. Where’s the line that is drawn that indicates it’s something “yucky”?[/quote] You're right, of course. Very few programs/activities are truly not-pay-to-play, which is why those that are truly not-pay-to-play are highly regarded. And, you wouldn't list being on a soccer team, a swim team, taking a SAT prep course or music lessons on the activity list, at least as "achievement." What you get out of the activities may be an achievement or even a hook/spike though, like being on a top tier soccer team (e.g., MLS Next Homegrown division).[/quote]
