To the parents. You have to constantly display your students' progress to them. Otherwise, they get kinda stingy at tax levy time.

To the kids, well, there's a huge difference between a junior high student and a high school student. Both sides still like to have some space of their own.

I agree that younger and weaker players benefit from being tossed into the mix with better ones. But there's more to it than that in a school setting.
