Yeah, and people wonder why our education system sucks. Kids come out of high school as ignorant as a sack of hammers and need the better part of a year of remedial classes in college, but damnit, they can cheer and throw a ball! I’m sure the Indian and Chinese teenagers are quaking in fear at the thought of competing against your kids in math and science.
My kids all have degrees and my son was on scholarship for football...One daughter was a cheerleader and the other was on her college softball team. They are all three successful in their lives.
The reaso kids come out of schools today “as ignorant as a sack of hammers” is because the total lack of discipline in their homes and in their schools...The liberal “dumbing down” of classes and the fear of “hurting the feelings” has brought on the erosion of education in this country...”Cheering” and “throwing a ball” is NOT the cause of lack of education. my children graduated from college in the early 90’s as the denegration of education was starting to take effect.
BTW, my grandchildren attend private schools just because of the liberal “dumbing down” and lack of discipline in the public education system.
