[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The advantage is for the parents to spend loads of money on club, privates etc. so they can also have a social life with like minded people that live vicariously thru their child at any cost, including the child's mental health (not all. Many parents I see are over zealous and want it more than the kid does. Nevermind that all the money they spend over 12 years could have been invested and paid for college in the first place.  Few kids get to go to the school of their choice or go to schools they heard little of with a scholarship and have limited time in college because they have their sport consume their time. Also bragging rights, just to say their kid was recruited/scholarship. It is sad to see. My kid loves their sport, I take their lead and I do and will continue to take it as far as they want and their talent and grit will take them. [/quote]

OK... you have no idea what you are talking about.
You have GOT to be one of the parents upset about the switch to "test  optional" at most schools.  NOW you have to focus on a more well rounded kid and you are pissed. [/quote]
No, my kid is talented. i just refuse to let it be all consuming like parents in this area do. I let them lead. Feels like I hit a never with some. But just speaking from experience and obeservation. [/quote]
