[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I second this, my sons and his friends are all straight A athletes and they all opted in (from different ES). I think the biggest factor was the parents who prioritized the pathways over sports - esp those of us who know that a year of sports makes little difference in the end. I was delighted to hear they will offer intramural sports - for a freshman, that is good enough, unless you have serious D1/Pro aspirations and that is not the end result for most student athletes.

This just confirms that families with kids who care about sports are unlikely to opt in to Skyview regardless of whether their parents like to call them “straight A athletes.”  It’s easy to get straight As in middle school and athletes who take their sport seriously want to do more than play intramurals, even if they have no expectation of playing D1 at the college level.

Fascinating analysis of other people’s kids. Meanwhile, serious athletes’ families are busy paying $10K for clubs—some of which don’t even let them play varsity—and actually advocating for their own.

The overlap between kids opting in to Skyview and athletic kids whose club teams won’t let them play for their high schools will almost be very small, if not non-existent.

All we’re really hearing here is some Skyview boosters trying to minimize the significance of it definitely not having VHSL sports in 2026-27, possibly not having them in 2027-28, and likely ending up the Concorde District school that everyone else schedules to play for Homecoming and Senior Nights in the future.

This thread is about teachers. You need to just shut up about sports. I will report you if you keep going on and on and on, it is getting old.[/quote]
