What is this world comin' to....?

Back in my days...parents had to PAY for us to not play.  Whether it's paying for earning good grades.  Or paying for us to go to Chinese School. 

Yesterday, I bumped into a fellow parent at nn's school.  He said he pays for his son to play soccer twice a week.  It's not really play soccer...but it's to get some exercise. 

Since when did schools got smart enough to have parents pay for their kids to play?  Playing should come naturally...right? I shouldn't have to play for my kid to go kick a ball around.  Or do somersaults on some mats.  I can't complain too much, cuz I'm feeding the system.   

Geez....what is this world comin' to???
