    Not even Adderall.

    Kids who were good at sports got coaches who helped them on and off the field.

    Kids who got all A’s were left alone.

      IME The kids who got all A’s were usually fairly independent to begin with. But they also got drafted into extracurriculars. Just not usually athletics…usually music/drama.

        Different schools, different experiences.

        In my experience, if you didn’t go looking for an activity, no one was going to seek you out. I was in a ‘College Bound’ program and no one ever even mentioned that schools might look at things like that.

        If by “coaching”, you meant scolding and punishing you for not keeping A’s. Then same

          I once got in trouble because I got an A-minus on a report card because “it should have been an A.”
