[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids in sports (but it's the club team we pay $$$$ that really does the work/ coaching) to allow them to make the HS team. However, I do get why sports is important to schools: School pride, sense of connection, etc. I don't think they should lose that. School sports in the high socioeconomic areas likely don't matter because we all pay to be in the elite clubs anyway. I think it is important for the students who only get sports, music, drama at the school level. Sometimes that may be the only reason they show up. I don't know what the answers are but something has to change. Class size wAy to big and teachers have too much work and too many students to really be effective.[/quote] what if "school pride" came from academic achievement? [/quote]
