[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what I've never been able to understand, I know this isn't new, but what on earth do sports and extra curriculars have anything to do with how good of a student you and have any bearing on a chance of getting into a good school? If you ask me that's part of the problem and a huge racket.[/quote] This is very much an American thing. Every else, it’s based on grades and entrance exams. I think it was sold as part of being well rounded. Except now, kids don’t join just stuff that interests them, they join things that look good. Oh and you can’t just be part of the team. You have to be the captain, founder, or President of something. [/quote]
