Dead on cab. Just like many other things in our culture, we have lost our way.

High schools are now a joke of academic institutions and revolve around sports. Nothing else matters. Too many people would and have sold their soul for their sports team to win.

Reading, writing and basics all take a back seat now. I say this as a person who has played all sports and love sports but the priorities need to be corrected.
