[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see no problem with reducing academic load to provide balance.  It goes both ways, a kid should not play DA at the detriment of academics but a kid should not just study all the time with no physical outlet [b]or ever having risen to the highest level of some activity.[/b]  Playing at the highest level of the sport is also a learning tool.

The commitment, teamwork, dedication, and expertise to play at the DA level should not be overlooked as a learning tool to create a well balanced member of society.

I would rather work with a well balanced person than one who spent all his/her time in the books or vice versa on the soccer field.[/quote]

Again, I say, people like you are why living in this area is so awful. Nobody ever has to rise to the "highest level of some activity." Your poor children. I'm curious: what did you rise to the highest level in? Are you famous for it?

You are talking about parents pushing their 11 year old into travel and he hates soccer.

Every child that I know that rose to that level begged their parents to play more and if anything the parents were either dragged along or were pulling the reins back.

Believe me these are not "poor children" ... these are kids that love what they do. [/quote]
