Are HS football and cheer leading REALLY more important that the 3 R's?
I recently traveled through 3 states and was appalled by the lack of common sense and inability of some young people to do really, really simple math.
I imagine this could be because, in my opinion, football and cheer leading are the priorities in some high schools rather than 'Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic'.
Case in point, a girl in her early 20s needed to use a calculator to figure out the change from a $10 bill on a $6 burger. No tax was involved. I know that every region has its share of dummies, including where I live.
