Munchkin,
That's an interesting thought. I have a slightly different spin on it, although the outcome may be the same.
In our experience, the high schools themselves have so many activities (especially the senior year), that the kids, who aren't always the best at communication and prior planning, go into, "Meeting, Assembly, Awards Dinner, Rehearsal, etc." overload.
Our youngest just graduated last year, and he was exactly the kid we're talking about -- Student body officer and in a billion activities. (does that sound exagerated?)
He's a great kid, National Merit, etc., but for a while he just sort of went where he was pointed.
Thanks for the post.
