Get over yourself. Maybe some people just resent the fact that high school is the new college. Maybe it has nothing to do with being outworked or being bitter. Maybe it's just feeling like it's ridiculous that high school kids are being shipped off and boarded to play lacrosse - and not for academic reasons. Don't give me that! Maybe some people liked the local, regional rivalry,the fact that all the kids knew each other, played on clubs together. College was when you moved out of state and the stakes became so high.Now it's high school? Give me a break. Seems like a lot of parent ego to me. Who the heck ships their kid off in high school for lacrosse? What's the return on that? Ha.
99% of these teams are made up of local kids. So let's talk reality here.
Kids have been leaving home for better opportunities for hundreds of years. Things have changed a bit if you haven't noticed. Do you honestly think the landscape for getting into a good college is the same as it was 10 years ago, 20 years ago?
This is my favorite...the ROI. The ROI for any kid attending a MIAA school is the same no matter where you're from. We are all headed to the same place - the grave. Life is ALL about the ride and the experiences along the way.
You sound like every other jealous troll that wants to blame your family's personal short comings on everyone and everything else aside from the obvious..YOU!!
