HCHY List: 17 reasons why football is better than high school

[Walling, John]

I feel most extracurricular activities are quality programs offered by
quality people - but the programs that do not espouse character are the
programs everyone hears about -

There are a lot of great people doing lots of great things - they are
quiet about it and just go on about their day without wanting or needing
recognition - the BEST type of leaders are "servant leaders".

John Walling

Great article Richard -- thanks for sharing!  Extracurricular activities
are meant to be engaging and have so much to offer our young people now
and in the future. The problem is when extracurricular activities
(sports or otherwise) do not have those qualities, which happens way too
often unfortunately.  Colleen

Regarding the recent discussion - reminded me of this great article
shared

on the list years ago:

http://www.pdkintl.org/kappan/kchi9804.htm

 

"Let me give you 17 reasons why football is better for learning than
high

school. I use football as my specific example not because I love
football; I

use it because I hate football. It's been said that football combines
the

two worst elements of American society: violence and committee meetings.
You

can substitute "music" or "theater" or "soccer" for "football," and

everything I say will stay the same; so when I say that football is
better

than school, what I really mean is that even football is better than

school."
