Is it time to break part of this thread off and sent it too the off the topics forum.
Titled something like...
High School and College sports vs academics and combination thereof.
Seems like we have two distinct discussions going on.
If so please send me a PM.
Thanks

Sorry Peter, I got caught up in the discussion that was turned from off topic. I am done with it and my apologies.

Ditto here. I too got caught up in a subject that is near and dear to my heart.

Peter - If my original reply to this thread was seen as being polarizing or provocative, I am truly sorry. It's just that this is something I feel very strongly about. I feel like I'm watching my country go down the tubes for a number of different reasons and the sorry state of our education system is towards the top of that list. The technological advances we enjoyed in the past are eroding and there doesn't seem to be much effort to turn that trend around. The point I was trying to make is simply that I feel there is entirely too much emphasis on extra-curricular activities in general and sports in particular. I think we owe it to our kids to coerce them to get the best education they can and they would be best served by keeping distractions to a minimum.

Not an issue. Just thought it might have been an option to split off.
Thanks for responding.
Have a good day.
Peter
