[Forplax]

We drive our kids to ballet class, but are reasonably sure they will never be professional dancers. Same for baseball, violin, karate, and so on. But those activities generally do grow things like teamwork, patience, coordination, fitness, etc. Not to mention an enjoyable sense of satisfaction when a difficult task is finally accomplished after a lot of hard work.

Enriching foundations and building useful skillsets is not the same thing as taking "full control of your kid's destiny".
