Has anyone seen the documentary "Race to Nowhere"? It gives you a sense of how over programmed and pressures put on kids. Many of which say they don't have time to socialize or even go be a kid. Are these pressures stunting their socialization at a young age and then when they get to college, realizing, that socialization is far more important than previously believed.

I personally was an average student, not very coordinated so only did 1 sport, not musically gifted or anything like that. I have to say that I flurished in college because more emphasis was put on being social to achieve both in the class room and outside in organizations.

My family also didn't believe in cable or nintendo (not that I cared about nintendo because again - zero hand eye coordination). I was always told to go out and play with the neighbors until it go dark.
