[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But for some reason there's a often a stigma against people who work hard in academics, but no real stigma against people who work hard in sports.[/quote] I don't think this is true. Working hard in academics is not the same as forcing your kids to do Kumon every day after school. I've never seen anyone looked down on for working hard in academics, but I know plenty of people who think pushing kids into algebra at younger ages, for example, is ridiculous. [/quote] The difference is that if a kid is participating in travel sports, people assume that the kid loves the sport and is driving the commitment. If a kid is doing academic enrichment, people assume that the parents are the ones pushing. Some kids push themselves into algebra at young ages, but people like you can't seem to accept that and instead trash the child's motivation and accomplishments. [/quote]
