Interesting. So we should rush our decision that we earned so that you possibly have a spot that you did not earn? And we should rush our decision to think about you?

Are you thinking about us when your kid is playing video games or sleeping in when my kid is training? 🤦‍♂️

DP. Here is a reality you may not be considering. The difference between your kid and the next one on the list may in fact be quite small. The club may have no problem moving on to the next kid. They may not be hanging on your decision the way you apparently think they are. Do not inflate your kid’s importance in this situation.

I work in academia. When a position is advertised, 100 or more very strong applicants send in their materials. From there, smaller pool is selected for phone interviews and then an even smaller pool for in person interviews. By the time you get to that stage all of the candidates are truly outstanding. But only one can get the offer and you have to decide the order in which you will offer if the first choice turns it down. Barring a true superstar applying, the differences that lead to the final ranking are often SO small. It can be an agonizing wait for the second, third, etc candidates while the first candidate drags their feet. And in reality, the university would be happy to have any of them in the position.

Your kid is much more likely to be just a bit better than the next one on the list, not head and shoulders better. Keep your kid humble and don’t let them walk around acting like they’re the top draft pick.

In our first year of tryouts last year, we were prepared for B or C team to be with a certain club. If you had that level of humility, you would accept whatever offer you received from your ideal club and what another family is doing would not impact you and this would not be a discussion. This is academically worded hypocrisy and a level of entitlement that frustrates middle America so much they did what they did last November.

What on earth are you talking about right now? Your reasoning skills are very poor. Try again, please.

It would make sense to give you more time but unfortunately the clubs are just high pressure salesmen.

Anyone know where Solar Panel landed? He was seen looking for a job at Herndon and TSJ

You’re serious, aren’t you?

Remarkable.

Why aren’t you mad at the club? You are mad at a choice. We are empowered. That’s almost un-American to be against that.

If we say we’re waiting and they club bails, cool. I have no issues. ✌️

How does my impact the rest of the “community?”

Do you folks really hear yourselves?

Crazy for you to think the kid isn’t training as much as yours. It could be a position thing.

I don’t know whether your kids trains as much is no more. I don’t judge a family for how they want to make decisions. You did calling it selfish.

Just start calling yourself Karen.

This doesn’t even make sense

Always disliked lecturing teachers, guess I still do. Go talk down to your students instead.
