[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our Big 3, the academically strongest students tend to be new 9th graders (unless they’re athletic recruits). I have yet to come across an athletic recruit who was also a top student academically. The recruits tend to be average students, at best. [/quote] Not my kid and what a jealous thing to say. Athletes tend to be excellent students because they have incredible focus and avoid a lot of nonsense.[/quote] Totally agree! It is such an old, tired trope about " dumb jocks".[/quote] Many of the jocks/athletic recruits I have personally encountered are not the most studious (I don’t want to use the word dumb). [/quote]
