  24. So far Rose has been what Greg expected and is a great deal of hard work. He is doing well and just as importantly is happy. He and I also love football. We love the strategy of it, the coaching, the sport, playing and everything else about it. However, when I saw Greg this weekend he told me that his coaches were upset with him. We have been communicating regularly and have been following and going to the JV games and Varsity games and thought Greg was playing extremely well. It turned out his coaches were not upset with his playing ability but his calculus grades. As a parent I cannot express to you how important that is to me. Here we have a coach whose full time job is managing football players but has a stronger interest in their academics than there playing ability. The longest conversation Greg has had with his coaches is not about his playing but about his academics. Other schools talk about how academics are always more important than athletics but giving the conflicting interests it does not always work out that way.
