Should Sports Be Allowed In High School?
Introduction Sports have been helping children to become healthy and fit, but for years athletics have been taking children's eyes away from reaching their educational goal. For example, the colleges keep increasing for a number of test failures each school has. It is to show that schools have better high school graduation rates without sports. Therefore, sports should not be allowed at school to save districts money, and improve students, grades. One of the major issues in America is the countless time's students have academic failure rates due to sports. Amanda Ripley stated, “More than 20 nations have better high school graduation rates” (10). The article also claims that “In the spring of 2012 Premont Independent School District
in Premont, Texas was in trouble. The state had threatened it to shut down for financial problems and academic failures” (Ripley 10). This obviously shows that kids should play sports out of school not during school. This information clearly shows that athletics should not be allowed at school to improve students grades, and to save the district money
Although students are dropping out of school due to academic failure people are also wasting a number of districts’ money. According to Amanda Ripley fields can cost over 20,000 dollars a year (11). Amanda Ripley also stated from the article“ To cut costs, the district had moved the middle school to the high school building; the elementary school hadn't had a music teacher in years ( Ripley 11). “ People are keeping their budget at a good level and saving money for their school without sports, Although other people are wasting districts money on sports by buying sports gear and more. It is to show that sports are a major issue in the USA and that we need to solve this problem.
