Please understand that if your child was as good, dedicated, respectful, intense, hard-working, coachable,respectED, pleasant, etc., then possibly you would feel differently. Your statement seems extremely non objective. While many believe that their child is the second-coming, some actually ARE that good. Don,t keep the door closed off to them based on spite or jealousy.


My kid was one of three that was moved up a couple of years ago. The uproar by others parents who's kids didn't get moved up was beyond comprehension and believe me, the coach didn't and doesn't get paid nearly enough to stand that kind of heat. To the best of my knowlegdge he has not moved up any kids since. Not worth the aggravation.
