They'll learn far more with this experience than they ever will in any 6th grade classroom for two weeks. Take it to the bank. Ask any one of those LLWS kids in thirty years what they remembered about 2010...and what they remembered in the classroom in 2010-2011. What answers do you think you'll receive?

All right, everyone. Admit you teared up seeing that kid's face from Washington being brought into pitch. Just a little.

I remember the death of a close friend in 1993 anything more than the school year after. Doesn't mean it was more beneficial.

I guess my point is that sometimes the memory is more important.

Two weeks of school for any of these kids isn't going to make or break their future endeavors.

Little League has way to many kids crying...there no crying in baseball (unless you are a Little League pitcher and you just gave up a homerun on ESPN)!

What's nice is you can watch the replays of the crying over and over again, just to make sure they actually are crying.
