So many activities like sports, band, and scouts have the expectation that you are going to place it first over everything else. I feel bad for the kids that they can't do more than one or two things in High School without disappointing some coach or leader and getting pushback or getting cut for lack of attendance. The expectations for attendance are so high. You get into the upper levels of any high school activity and you are expected to forsake everything else for that one activity.

As little kids, they can dabble in a little bit of everything, but as they get older, they have to specialize. Soccer may be fun, but is it really that fun that you don't do anything else? Same with every other activity.
