Sorry Mr. Lauria,

Schools in today's world (it won't always be this way), but in today's society we would rather put helmets on our children and teach them to bash one another so that concussions will deteriorate their brains. We call it football, and it dominates over the Arts and educational achievement. How many of these high school footballers actually go on to a profession in the sport--not many, yet, we praise a kid who can throw a football more than we praise a student with high grades. Luckily, most of these student athletes put all of their time and effort into bashing each others heads in so that when they get out of High School and/or college they have no idea how to achieve in a world without sports. They will have a greater chance of living a life with painkiller addiction then they will being a professional football player. Team building can be achieved without the use of force- sorry all of you ego driven parents who will defend this ridiculous position of allowing football to be on the top of our education platform.
