[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any of you ever been to an APS middle school swim meet? I have! The teams are full of kids who can barely swim. It's beautiful. It really is a no-cut sport and should be kept.[/quote] I’m not saying to get rid of swimming. I’m saying it’s place as one of only 3 no cut sports is inadequate. Swimming. Track (running in circle). Frisbee. That’s it. [/quote] NP - Some tennis is no cut. Marching band [i]should[/i] be no cut. I agree it would be great to have more no-=cut sports. But I dont think the competitive sports/teams need to be eliminated. There is a great deal of value in striving to make a team, experiencing disappointment, learning to work hard to try again, etc. And we're not talking so elite that it's 5 very wealthy and privileged kids getting these opportunities. Life is competitive and kids are going to face much steeper competition for good jobs. The labor force is not no-cut.[/quote]
