I know of families is our area that homeschool. They tell me that they’ve enjoined most of their older children to activities, such as drama acting workshops, self-defense, sports, youth choirs…etc. The parents and the children believe mutually believe that they are benefiting from them.

I really pity you for the situation. The situation is not so pitiable with India as the Govts and Administrators doing somewhat better realizing and feeling the element of social responsibility.

Children play games in the streets and on the roads breaks daily someone ‘s bike or car glasses unknowingly playing on the road. The government must pay attention to this problem.
The article has elicited all kinds of opinions on parenting, spoiled children, bad coaching, and ridiculous rules and regulations in youth sports leagues. It brought up talk of the Philadelphia dad who was suing for $40 million because his son got cut from the track team, and the Dallas father who brought a racketeering suit against a lacrosse camp. They are a reflection of so much of what is wrong in youth sports today.
You don’t sue and waste precious taxpayer time and money because your child is not getting playing time. Your daughter says she isn’t even sure she wants to play college volleyball! Mom also wrote to the coach, “It is important that she plays, and plays the position you offered her of setter as that is the position she plays in high school.”
Really? You don’t get to tell a coach where your kid plays. Just be a parent, let the coach be the coach, and let the game belong to your child. The parents in this case have taken a teachable moment and ruined it
