As such they recognize the value of education and encourage (if not push) their kids toward academic achievement.<br /><br />Smart kids will do fine anywhere.

Even elite colleges, such as the Ivy League(where Springfield students rarely go), has wrestled with the same issue.<br /><br />And playing sports, being members of clubs, or doing community service have nothing to do with being an honor student. It has to do with academic achievement--or at least it used to.<br /><br />But I love the defensive postures.
