[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where did you go to high school and how big was our school?  Were there really activities that literally the entire school could show up to want to participate in in the same semester, and they could accomodate everyone?  Most US public schools - whether giant or moderately-sized - have limits to how many kids can do any 1 thing in any one semester, because there are staffing and space issues.  So not sure how many extracurriculars are accessible for ALL students, but there are plenty in most schools that can accomodate all the students who show up wanting to do it. But when you can only have a limited # of players on a field in a competition at any given time, it's never been "accessible for all students". Not even when you were in school, wherever you were, although maybe games were less structured and there could be endless rotation of players so everyone played?[/quote]

+1  If you want accessible to all, pay 40K$ for some private school that is small and lets everyone participate.  Public schools are bigger and more resource challenged, so there's more competition.[/quote]

>=40K private schools also have MANY cut-sports.  As a matter of fact, there is even more competition in private than in public schools for sports that kids actually want to participate in.  Many of these kids have been trained at a very young age.  There are no-cut sports at private schools, [b]but many kids do not want them[/b].[/quote]

Then I guess they’re SOL.
