[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My theory? It’s the happy middle ground. White families want their kids to have a fun, playful, enjoyable childhood. They don’t want them to study all day at school, then go to academic extracurriculars all the time, then do homework. But - they also don’t feel comfortable with a large amount of free range, play-based, child-driven, unstructured time. They want to know where their kids are, that they’re safe and well cared for, and that they’re learning real skills. Sports fits right in that spot. Fun, but structured. [/quote] I think that's the problem with some parents today, there is no balance for their kids. It's always go, go, go for kids and there is an expectation that kids participate in sports/activities whether they want to or not.[/quote]
