Good comparison master of none. I agree, but will add, when that child is crying and screaming and kicking because he/she doesn't want to swim anymore, and the parent is forcing the swimming down his/her throat, regardless, then THAT is a problem. I've seen this done so many times with kids involved in sports, but it also happens with academics as well.

And my response to R is "they will all level out in 3rd grade"...







ok, bad joke. I know. Sorry!
