[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Princeton and they’ve been clear that athletes do better after college than non athletes (higher income, more successful). It’s not all about test scores.[/quote] +1 I have three kids in high school. The 2 who are just ok athletes have near perfect grades and test scores. The third child is an outstanding athlete but has the lower grades and scores of the three. Why? Because she spends about 25 hours a week on her sport. I guarantee if she didn’t do that, she’d have higher grades and scores. [/quote] To be fair, non-athlete kids can spend as much time or more doing their activities (or working) and still get the grades/scores. There are athletes that do their sport and get the grades/scores. There are just some wicked smart kids out there that can kinda do it all. But agreed, it's not all about the test scores, nor should it be. [/quote]
