SHOCKING: A growing number of middle school athletes — mostly boys — are intentionally repeating 8th grade to delay their start in high school, giving themselves another full year to get bigger, stronger, and faster, which in turn dramatically boosts their chances at elite high school spots, college scholarships, and massive NIL deals potentially worth millions.
William La Jeunesse: “Of 8M high school students in sports only 7% will play in college.”
“On the other hand, the [likely] number one pick in this year’s NBA draft, [AJ Dybantsa], did 8th grade twice.”
CRAZY IDEA: How about we let more kids be kids!
Moms on their phone: making a doctor’s appointment, sending pics to the grandmas, writing an email to an accountant, organising logistics for a visiting relative, tracking a package that was meant to arrive but didn’t, ordering things for the household because she doesn’t have time to go physically shop, looking up how to remove a particular type of stain, looking up recipes for dinner with some ingredients she doesn’t know what to do with
Onlookers: “look at her scrolling on her phone, neglecting her family”
Chick-fil-A is offering free ice cream to families who agree to put their phones away during their meal, as part of an effort to encourage more face-to-face time and less screen use at the table.
I was told as a new parent to read to you kids until your eyes bleed.
We’ve read to ours every day and it’s been one of the best things we’ve done for our kids.
