Sports Vs Acdamics
My topic is basically a question the question is Do schools place the much emphasis on sports? My reasons are some schools have more sport trophies shown than acdamic trophies. Some schools focus more on sports than acdamics. Some schools also pay more money on sports than acdamics.

My last relevant evidence is that some grades or scores drop because, some students spend more time on sports than on

    or many years, athletics have improved junior’s well-beings and their schooling, but some academies have been thinking of getting rid of these programs all together. The two articles mentioned that school should keep or get rid of sports. One is written by Amanda Ripley while the other Tim O’Shei. Both have good arguments yet Tim’s article provides more positive undertones and uses of sports. Therefore physical education should stay in schools because It helps improve children’s grades and health, equal opportunities are given to students that didn’t exercise before, AND athletic careers can open for people who play competitive games early in their lives.…

    While many schools claim this to be their policy, they still poor huge amounts into athletic budgets, buying new uniforms year after year for football teams and shamelessly recruiting students for their athletic abilities. While a well rounded student is great, requiring sports creates difficulty for some students, this issue is highlighted in Edward Koren's piece "Two Scoreboards." How can a school be claim to be equally invested in education and sports, if a school really wanted well rounded students it would not let art departments struggle from being under funded. While sports are important to students the score they earn on tests should be more celebrated then the score board at a…

    For decades schools have had sports been around but most of those sports are the cause of most failing grades.This is proven when the author states that the science class was deteriorating due to ill funds towards the classroom and more funds the sports instead.Another example of this is that the grades of the students that participate in these schools sports drop and are expensive to the student's family itself.I agree with this because it makes sense to first use the money on the school's classrooms instead of using it on the sports teams.My conclusion is that we should not have too much school sports so that the science lab is rotting in mold.…

    Activities and sports in schools is a great way for students to be involved, and to be active. I have done research and there hasn’t been one article I found on why sports shouldn’t be in schools. Having athletic programs and activities in schools are very helpful for students health, it develops team work, helps develop discipline and also perfection. School administrators, and parents, generally support high school activity programs because of the positive effect these activities appear to have on students of both genders. (Braddock P.1)…
