[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a 13yo who does well in both school and sports, for which I am grateful. She realized a few years back that she needs physical activity for the mental health benefits. There's a weird DCUM stereotype that parents are in it for D1 scholarships, but some of us support our kids in sports because it actually helps with everything else.[/quote] The stereotype is that sports are somehow more valuable than other activities, almost as valuable as academics. And if your child doesn’t do sports, there is something wrong with them. And before the regulars jump on my post, my kids are involved in many activities, including sports. [/quote] This isn’t a thing.[/quote] Sure it is. Pop on over to General Sports or, better yet, the College forum. [/quote] I don’t think you know what “stereotype” means. Perhaps you should get off the internet and focus on your own academics a bit.[/quote]
