Public School Sports Research Paper

Having homeschoolers playing in public schools is a great idea. In the state of Virginia, we want the best for our children. Homeschoolers should not have to go to the public school in their zone to play sports. They should have the right to try out a sport in public school. Allowing homeschoolers to play sports in public schools give them the choice to interact with their teammates. Studies show that activities such as sports help children to manage their time more. I also had to think about the children that goes to the public school. It seems unfair to let homeschoolers to be on the team when they don’t even go to the school. This is why I will make requirements for the homeschoolers if they want to tryout for the a sport in the public school

When choosing to homeschool, the parent and child give up their rights to all the activities a public school has to offer. “This is an issue of choice,’ says Mott of New York State’s athletic association. “Parents make choices. And with these choices come consequences. If I decide to send my child to a private school or keep them home to teach, then I must accept the results of that action. I may have to pay tuition. My child probably won’t have the benefit of playing on the school team. Parents and children have to weigh these pros and cons, make their choice and live with it” (Laffe). The parents and students are aware of the consequences if they choose to homeschool. “While proponents of homeschoolers participation on interscholastic sports teams argue that home-school families pay taxes that fund the public schools just like parents of public school students, opponents believe that participation in interscholastic athletics is a privilege, not a right, and that homeschool families have forfeited the right of free public education and, thus, the privilege of playing interscholastic sports” (Sieck). Playing sports is a part of going to high school and keeping your grades up. Homeschooled children are choosing not to be a part of the competitive public school setting and therefore should not be able to play sports with the students who did compete to get

Every year, thousands of people move to the United States from all over the world to play sports. According to the district they threatened to flunk sports down because they were rolling to cause financial problems and it would cut the cost of equipment. Therefore, schools should not have sports because they can cause district's financial problems, academic failures and students will not have the proper rooms to teach.

It is a known fact that sports are a significant factor into the way of life for Americans. Families will sacrifice much of their lives to see one of the children become a professional athlete. One of those sacrifices is money. Money for some families, seems almost unlimited while for the majority of families, money is something difficult to come by. Depending on which family a child belongs to, their chances of playing college or professional ball is drastically different. The world of high school sports is becoming more financially demanding than ever because camp prices are rising at an overwhelming rate, families are acquiring debt in hope that their kid is successful, and student athletes of lower class families are not getting the head starts of upper class family athletes.

“It’s funny how they have the money to pay themselves (the administrators and coaches) first and then say there’s nothing left over for the athletes. Why are the athletes on the other end?...”(ProQuest Staff) That is what Jay Bilas had to say about paying student-athletes, and many more without a voice have agreed with him. Many people believe withholding compensation from student-athletes is wrong. The student-athletes make billions of dollars for the NCAA and receive no sliver of pay from the largest collegiate athletic organization in the entire world. Many have spoken, even formed groups to help reform college sports to where the athletes receive more benefits, and while the NCAA does offer scholarships to

America has high school sports for many reasons. One sports allows young individuals to practice life lessons, sportsmanship,and allows kids to work on there social skills as well. Sports allow students to practice time management, character building and for many the high school athlete is also one of your higher academic students as well. Now this is not always the case , but for the most part kids who are involved in sports have to be responsible for academics in order to particpate . In the Article " The Case Against High School Sports" I can see why the principle shut down sports in the school. I think having good teachers and being able to fund good teachers has to be a priority. I am not sure what the principle did would work everywhere

Catastrophic injury is devastating not only to the injured athlete, but also to the athlete’s family, school and community. The Washington Post indicated that an estimated 800 thousand boys and girls take part in high school sports yearly. This demonstrates how high school sports is a major part of the school extra curricular activity. In Daniel Gould article "Are High School Sports Good For kids?" he found that students who took part in high school sports got educational benefits and extracurricular activities have positive effects on adolescents .Experts may argue that high school sports allow kids to be physical active, but they must also recognize the clear dangers. Playing high school sports come with serious consequences and life altering changes such as physical injuries, peer pressure and psychology effects.

Schools have been debating if they should get rid of sports in their districts, because they’re wondering if these extracurricular activities have been causing a problem for their students. While some scholars agree with this change most teachers are rejecting this change and want them to stay. Therefore, schools should have sports because they can help students relieve themselves of stress, kids can learn to work as a team, and children of all kinds can have equal opportunities to play them.

Basically, being in a sport is just for fun, but they can get in the way of everyone's education. Everyone's education is more important than their sports. Their sports always come secondary at school. If our sports got in the way, then we might have to drop out of that sport. I do not think anyone would like that.

“ Sport is like a war without the killing.” (Ted Turner.) This quote illustrates that in sports everyone competes against each other. Teens are exposed to sports at an early age by their peers and the society. As teens progress into high school, they often participate in high school sports without knowing the negative impacts in the future.

We need to get rid of competitive sports at Monticello Trails Middle School for the greater good.

Less than half. Less than half of those who never participated in sports in school, will go on to get a college degree. On the flip side almost ⅔ of student athletes, nationwide, will get a 4 year college degree. These numbers come from a poll done by the Harris Poll, a Nielsen company, that surveyed thousands of people in the U.S. From the poll, researchers found that former student athletes more regularly graduate college and have a higher average income than those that don’t. However, there is much controversy over these activities because of a recent rise in injuries among athletes. High school sports have been becoming more and more popular as of late and rate of sports related injuries has gone up with it. While we can’t ignore the dangers

High school sports are a good pass time for high school kids, it keeps some out of trouble or gets kids out of the house. On the other hand high school sports have gotten very serious, instead of just having fun. It’s turned into if you don’t win then what’s the point, it not for the fun. It’s been drilled into everyone heads that they have to be a really good player and their only way they’re getting into college is through sports. Everyone dream is to play for a division I team, which that’s not a bad goal to have but in reality not every athlete can go division I. High school athletes have this mentality that they have to win all the time or be the best they put a lot of pressure on themselves. Not in all cases but, if someone wants to

“What’s in the Name of High School Football,” “Are High School Sports Good for Kids,” and “a video Kids and Sports” all include writing about if school sports are good, harmful to students, or affect education purposes. “What’s in the Name of High School Football” talked about how sports programs took over the school newspaper, morning announcements, and all of the money. Money and fairness were not distributed well between sports and other programs. “Are High School Sports Good for Kids” talked about if sports were hurting some students education and what other people were doing to benefit that. The video talked about how sports were helping the kids that had trouble making friends or just weren’t social at all. All three resources have good facts and opinions about school sports, however, I feel all schools should keep funding school sports. I think this because sports help social life, takes stress off kids, and it gets everyone involved.

For years, students have been playing sports and loving it, but as a result, some peers haven’t been doing well in their academics. Students are too busy playing sports, so they don’t have enough time to do their homework. Therefore, sports should be taken out of school because students will be more focused on their grades, the district won’t have to pay great deals of money, and that America will not lag behind other countries academically.
