Quote: you said you do not have kids so im not sure what you know about being beneficial to kid. im not sure why tou think hs is better for a kids development to become an adult and club soccer is not.im not sure you know what parenting is either. as far as hs being just a group of friends i never said that was all hs was but they are in general more friends than in club.hs school in general is only competative for a small number of schools.
The attributes of being held accountable for actions is certainly something that should be conveyed to every child. That's why this country's educational system sucks at this moment. That's why this country sucks at this moment. No one thinks they should be held accountable for the choices they make. By saying that your daughter should not be held accountable by her hs team because she chose to leave them during their season is not teaching this skill, plain and simple.
I'm not saying don't go play in your ECNL league or whatever. Go for it. Just don't expect to not have repercussions upon your return whether they be team instituted, coach (bench time/make-ups) instituted, self (guilt) instituted or peer instituted. Be prepared to face the music and don't complain about it. Furthermore, don't make ridiculously outlandish statements like HS soccer is some social club for girls and boys. HS coaches aren't babysitters.
