What don't you people get it, we HAVE to have ****ty schools to keep the poor, poor and provide a working class to serve the rest? Any attempted improvements is just spitting in the wind.

No, get rid of school sports programs for every district in the country. Taxpayers should not support a bloated mini-NFL.Originally posted by Jac de Molay
Yeah ok
. Let's just screw poor school districts even more and get rid of their sports.
If anything, sports is the ONLY hope that many of these kids have for discipline and accountibility because they're not getting it from home or from regular school.
Instead, districts should maintain a limited athletics program, one that fulfills the necessities of a physical education class, one that can get students active in sports and physical activities. Then, divert the rest of the money to academic programs, to providing districts with the needed textbooks, computers and supplies.
EDIT: If the local city/district populations wanted a football/bastketball/whatever program, they could have it. But the excessive athletic programs should not receive state and federal funding.Comment

And under most circumstances, athletic programs are incredibly strapped for cash, and have to conduct a lot of fundraising outside of the normal school funding structure.
Kids who participate in sports are more disciplined with their time and studies, more confident, and have better life skills in general. It would be a disaster to take that away, especially in poor districts."Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us." --MLK Jr.Comment

I've been on both sides, active in sports and one of the top students.
Discipline is important, and the academics ought to be stressed alongside the sports.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Are you joking? The local district here pays the head coaches at the two high schools 80,000 a year, individually. One high school I know has 14 coaches, for football alone. They are finishing up a high school football stadium that cost several millions of dollars. This is because the new stadium built at the local high school is no longer suitable in it's accomodations.Originally posted by Jac de Molay

The football teams are transported on Greyhound buses to their football games, after being treated to a meal at a local restaurant.
I would say close to 30% of all athletes pass their classes only because their failure would render them unable to play in the next game. Not to mention that the heavy weight lifting that football athletes commonly perform is extremely dangerous to their bodies.
School fundraising is another thing that needs to be reformed.Comment
