Long rant... school budget cuts.

[brainman1000]

On the flip side, sports build teamwork, leadership, discipline, hard work, can give a school a sense of pride (don't underestimate that one), and other skills that are necessary for a functional society. But I still think that too much $$$ is thrown at sports and too little at the arts and other programs.

That is very true. Sports do have their educational qualities, but whenever budget cuts are mentioned it is always the arts programs that are targeted first and not the sports programs. It's all about priorities.

All I can think is; hey America, how's that TRILLION dollar a year Military budget treating you.

If educating children in your own country was as important as being able to blow up children in other countries, you'd all be so educated that... uh... well it would be much harder to make fun of Americans.

No offence meant, of course .

I actually have to agree with you. Again, it is all about priorities.
