[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Focusing on sports instead of homework is not a good long term bet.
Specifically for math, American students are falling way behind.  Our students are struggling because THEY DON'T DO ENOUGH MATH HOMEWORK.  Sorry, but the average learner doesn't learn math without practicing math problems over and over.
And the top 20-40 income earning jobs in America are all math based.  
I have 4 kids and the only ones getting enough math homework are in the highest level math classes.  Schools are letting average learners slide by without really learning algebra, geometry and pre-calc.

For most kids that 3 hours/day spent in sports ain't gonna pay the bills for the rest of their life.  Hard academic skills will.

This. If you’re putting all your energy into competing for sports scholarships you are already behind the 8 ball.[/quote]
