What's the relation of HS commitment to sports and students achievement? Surprise!educationnext.org/does-athletic-…

oh my.
must say - i've been in those communities.. the connection to achievement is from (good/bad) intentions toward the mythical success. it seems - parents are either in a competition to top # of ap classes - out of insecurity i'm guessing, or they are truly worried and hear what others are doing... they reaffirm the myth that college is the golden ticket.
so yeah - they gather.. but they perpetuate this dependency on credentialing..

let's ask their kids.. one-on-one - if they think that matters.

then too - the kids - chsaa doesn't ask - it just makes grades the law.
again - not out of malice - they think it's best.

but that doesn't it best - for people.
no?
