Adding sports and like activities outside of school gives Parents the opportunity to engage in developing critical abilities that are difficult to expand on from the classroom. Like activities can be swimming, kickball, handball, racquetball, scouts, camping, frisbee competition, frisbee golf, golf, tennis, badminton, squash, chess, checkers, cards, theater, concert band, marching band, chorus, school newspaper, student government, debate team, color guard, robotics club. Two high schools I worked at had very active and successful robotics clubs. Young people very involved in every phase of the project was beyond amazing.
