<p>Hanna, you’re right–many paths to a productive life! My son loves PE and benefits from easy grading in chorus, conditional on showing up and trying. If he had his druthers he’d be a major league pitcher, but even for something so near and dear to his heart, he doesn’t always work to get ahead. He spent a couple years mastering a lethal knuckleball, but hasn’t grown to the next level on his fastball. He understands (I think) the need for a solid backup plan. I don’t see him teaching or coaching, so I’m not sure whether his current interests will translate into future plans. He just reported that he has A LOT of work to make up from last quarter. He seems resigned to do the honorable thing, but I fear it will cause him to ignore/burn out on his current quarter’s work. I’ll keep you posted! Looks like choppy sailing ahead.</p>
