There is a dichotomy when it comes to kids with respect to academics and sports.
Everyone knows and accepts that there are elite and traveling teams in every metro area for most sports.
But the same concept in academics is not accepted.
A friend's son is on an elite track for football and there was some drama with his former football teammates' parents when he was selected and they were not. But everyone KNEW he was superior. Now he is supported by those same families.
So, I think there is something to be gained from this analogy. How to use it and phrase it right is beyond me right now.
