It was just a ploy. My area is populated with people who were more than willing to pay higher taxes rather than see high school football cut. I'm sure if the schools had announced they were cutting the math program, there wouldn't have been as big of a response. Don't get me wrong. I think sports are important. Besides helping students stay fit, they teach kids a lot that they can't learn in the classroom, such as cooperation, team spirit, working for a goal, etc. But I think there is a disproportionate emphasis on certain sports like varsity football and boys' basketball ---that relatively few students participate in.C Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053858627632648020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-89009475762302053402010-03-19T12:24:33.891-04:002010-03-19T12:24:33.891-04:00Here via Debbie.
