[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are purposely missing the point. Kids have different skill sets. That is okay. Putting kids where they belong allows everyone to be confident in their abilities. Though I would be all for sports moving into community alternatives.  Let school be for academics only. The money we save on not have sports team can pay for a whole lot of tutors. [/quote]

No, I am not. Sports are not the reason why there is an issue with AAP or SPED or any other program. Not to mention, Sports is a motivating factor for a good number of kids. You can’t play on the team without maintaining a certain GPA and without maintaining certain behavior. Sports teaches many kids important lessons that carry over to the classroom.

But the argument for dropping sports in thread has never been because it is too expensive. People use it as a lame analogy for kids who get cut from a team and over involved parents. They argue that equity should mean every kid makes the team. That is how sports gets brought up. And it is a ridiculous argument. I don’t expect every kid to be taking the same classes in high school. I also think that AAP is needed at every school. Some kids need SPED, some are fine in Gen Ed, and some need AAP. And it could very well be the cut off for AAP in some schools is different then other schools because the kids are coming with different backgrounds, preparation for school, and needs.  [/quote]
