[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The good person, happy person, productive person is what I care about most. Part of achieving that means I highly values school.[/b] But why can't a kid have a passion for a hobby? In this case sports? I can see if his grades went from Bs to Ds, you might have to figure out a different mix of school and sports, but if that's not happening, a person's joy matters, too. If your son loves something, and you can encourage this passion, it sounds like a wonderful thing. [/quote] I agree with you about supporting hobbies kids are passionate about & certainly about a person's joy mattering. I really don't understand the bolded phrase, however. I know plenty of good people who are happy & productive adults who hated school & got poor grades. I also know several immoral --oftentimes miserable -- jerks & a few non productive burnouts who were top students.[/quote]
