Huh? Is it a given that we should optimize life for school, particularly tutoring which I assume pertains to high school and below? I think in the absence of a disability, money spent on sports or drama club or 4H or whatever extra curriculars is a way better investment than extra math or something. To me it says they have sensible priorities.
- dekhn 3y agoThis is a tough call- while I generally think that everybody should get a well-rounded liberal education, it's pretty clear that investing more time into math and science leds to generally better long-term outcomes in terms of money, and that money translates into significantly greater life quality.
- version_five 3y agoThat may make sense for setting public policy but it's not necessarily true with your own kids is it?
- bonestamp2 3y agoUnless the kid is really passionate about it and shows some real potential, I don't think it's worth breaking the bank for the kid to play in a competitive league. There are lots of fun/casual leagues for kids that don't travel and are much more affordable and provide a lot of the same benefits as the travel/competitive teams.
