Why can't we afford the money for the state's children health care?

We Answered:

Because most of our extra tax money is going to fund Bush's war in Iraq.

I think sports trainers for kids is a waste of time. If you're in high school and aiming toward a scholarship, that I can understand, but otherwise, what's the point? My neighbor down the street has a trainer for her 11yr son for soccer so he can make the state team in the spring. He trains with this coach 3 days a week for 3hrs each session and 1 session on Saturday for 90ms. That's 10.5 hours a week that can be dedicated to school, spending time with family and friends and doing other activities. The kid is happy playing for the town and likes (not loves) soccer. He's being pushed for no reason. Will that lead to health risks in the future? I don't know for sure. I think the extra stress and pushing yourself over the limits will do something to a kid over time, but I'm not a docotr. I am though a teacher and have a degree in child development I know that this will definitely have an impact on his school work and his decision making skills. What will be more important to him in the future?
At his age he should be playing outside, riding bikes with friends, enjoying school etc, not being pushed to play state soccer at 11, 12yrs old.
