<p>Every SAT Saturday was a game day for one sport or another. Plus, we don’t have as many SAT dates as the US but it wouldn’t matter. Life is full of compromises. As it was the one and only time he took the SATs–I’d say the timing was picture perfect.</p>
<p>Mentioning it to the Head would have drawn negative faculty attention in mid-year. Not worth it. Negative faculty attention is hardly ever worth it, in my oppinion. </p>
<p>No great loss in retrospect. Good lesson for my son on accepting a different path and enjoying the surprises along the way. His team ended the season with a great keeper and a great record and a great coaching experience. </p>
<p>The Varsity team was miserable. The coach threw the second best keeper off the team too–for missing a game due to academic travel.</p>
