I guess we are tossing aside the old Greek notion of the linkage between a sound mind and a sound body. Given the toxic combination of declining international test scores, increased dropout rates and increased obesity, it seems like we are ignoring a lot of evidence that proves the point. The trend below therefore, is very disturbing if it comes to pass. Maybe we need a safe to fall on our heads to see the obvious, but I guess some failed buracracy or another has an agenda they would rather see served than to have our kids served properly.
By 2020, 27 percent of public high schools in the United States could be without sports due to a lack of proper funding.
Depriving young athletes from engaging in organized sports does more damage than just taking away fun from their lives. It eliminates an outlet that teaches invaluable lessons of teamwork, sportsmanship, respect, time management, and fair play.
