[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why American schools are obsessed with sports. It’s insane in my opinion.

In my DD’s American high school every sports achievement was followed up with sone ceremony and public awards while winning a math Olympiad was completely ignored.

I don’t think European schools have teams and recruited athletes. They’re more academically oriented.[/quote]

There are many European athletes attending American universities as recruited athletes
  Somewhere along the way they devoted significant time to sport.[/quote]
Actually, this is another point. Europeans are recruited more than ever. And Europeans don’t donate to schools like Americans do, to sh the least. So not only are these Europeans getting an admit advantage, but if they are upper-middle class (with an equal or higher standard of living than American donut hole families), they will get significant financial aid from these schools. Some of which comes from donut family tuition.,,[/quote]
