No One Left Behind
by Edgar Steele
So
you are one of those who
think our current public
education system makes
sense, eh? Well,
consider it from this
point of view...
NO CHILD LEFT
BEHIND---The Football
Version
1. All teams must make
the state playoffs and
all MUST win the
championship. If a team
does not win the
championship, they will
be on probation until
they are the champions,
and coaches will be held
accountable. If after
two years they have not
won the championship
their footballs and
equipment will be taken
away UNTIL they do win
the championship.
2. All kids will be
expected to have the
same football skills at
the same time even if
they do not have the
same conditions or
opportunities to
practice on their
own. NO exceptions will
be made for lack of
interest in football, a
desire to perform
athletically, or genetic
abilities or
disabilities of
themselves or
their parents.
ALL KIDS WILL PLAY
FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT
LEVEL!
3. Talented players will
be asked to workout on
their own, without
instruction. This is
because the coaches will
be using all their
instructional time with
the athletes who aren't
interested in football,
have limited athletic
ability or whose parents
don't like football.
4. Games will be played
year round, but
statistics will only be
kept in the 4th, 8th,
and 11th game. It will
create a New Age of
Sports where every
school is expected to
have the same level of
talent and all teams
will reach the same
minimum goals. If no
child gets ahead,
then no child gets left
behind.
If parents do not like
this new law, they are
encouraged to vote for
vouchers and support
private schools that can
screen out the
non-athletes and prevent
their children from
having to go to school
with bad football
players.
