Teachers who don't know the material, no feedback on homework/exams, massive emphasis on sports, poor guidance on course availability and sequence.  This is for a kid in all honors and APs.  Some of the teachers are good, but overall not impressed.[/quote]
Any school that has a heavy emphasis on sports is not a great school IMO, especially if their academics is lackluster.[/quote]

If the academics aren't lackluster, why is a heavy emphasis on sports still a bad thing? [/quote]
I think this country's emphasis on sports is ridiculous. We pay sports athletes millions, and yet those who teach our children, especially the great teachers, get paid a tiny fraction of what athletes make.

Also, I find too heavy emphasis on sports detracts from academics and creates a mentality that is not healthy, ie, Damascus football team.

I'm not saying all athletic programs in school is bad, but often times, when a school puts a heavy emphasis on athletics, it's to the detriment of academics, especially for those athletes.

Again, I'm not against sports programs in schools, I just don't like it when there is too much emphasis  YMMV.[/quote]
