[quote=Anonymous]Academics is a core part of school. Physical fitness is also a core part of school. Sports specialization is not a core part of school. There is no requirement to specialize in a sport for graduation. There have been talks about replacing PE with electives for specialized sports in high school, however the expense is high and facility space is expensive. It is less expensive to offer a band class or chemistry elective than to offer a specialized sport elective.

There are issues with AAP that need to be addressed. But since it's a core part of school, the issues need to be addressed while advanced academics services are still being provided. The way they are provided can vary though and do vary both in FCPS and around the US. Any school sport that would be provided would not be at the level of "advanced" for a sport, therefore it would turn off the kids who aren't good at the sport and the ones who think it is too easy.  Even now people complain that AAP is too easy. Schools can only accommodate so much variety.

I really feel like I'm having a conversation with a bunch of parents who do not have kids in sports here. There isn't even a proposal on the table from OP. This discussion is a waste of time. Talk amongst yourselves.[/quote]
