[quote=Anonymous]This thread restores my faith in my fellow parents. I'm one of the PPs who feels sports are a positive (and straight As aren't the goal). Among my family and neighbors, I often feel like I'm swimming against the tide. I feel sad for some of my kids' peers who are pushed, pushed, pushed and expect to go to Harvard, Stanford, etc. The parents limit their participation in sports, the arts, and social activities. What happens when they get rejected? It does happen. Most straight A students aren't going to the ivies. I have a cousin who was valedictorian (FCPS) and was rejected from every one. [/quote]
