| Content | The focus within our public school system should be on education with a realistic approach to sports. Sports are necessary for many aspects of physical, emotional, social development, etc. Yet the unrealistic career plan, which evolves for many elementary students in the public schools, develops into an attitudinal misconception as a long time career goal. I have heard too many youth state that they do not need to study to learn because they are going to be a pro athlete. We need to instill the expectation to attend at least 2 years of post high school education (which many pro athletes do) and it should be free.
If we invest in our youth, they will expect more of themselves.
We must set the example and pave the way.
