This 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.

That may make sense for setting public policy but it's not necessarily true with your own kids is it?

  Unless 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.
