In my opinion, school work and education for kids must be on 1st priority, unless you are not living in Hong Kong or you are very rich. Too bad and too sad, but that's the reality. If your kid have a chance to choose, to be the 10A HKCEE student or a HK Youth TT Champion, which one you would like your kid to be? ...
Agreed. School work and education for kids is the first priority. But I only hope my son can work hard and get whatever result he deserves basing on his efforts spent. If he had work hard to achieve his goal, I would not care whether he got HK Youth TT Champion or 10A HKCEE. This might be his goal one day but not mine.
To tell the truth, he had got the champion in HK Youth Taekwondo Competition in HK and Macau (in his weight group), but now he chooses to drop Taekwondo because he need more time to practice TT. TT is a new sport he has learnt for ten months.I let him choose a sport he has slim chance to get prize.
For sports he choose, he pushes himself to practice . I have no pressure putting on him. Seeing his determination and hardworking to improve his skills, I only try to provide him with resources for skill improvement.
Funny enough, I have not paved the way for my son to enter famous local secondary school. I have just chosen the secondary school for him in our district (North District).
No doubt that school work is the first priority .But I think helping kids to actualize their potential and let them have a happy childhood is most important .
