I agree with Mr. DeWitt and also with a comment he made earlier. . . to do what it is being advocated by many on here will lead to the demise of school-sponsored sports along with the rise of European-style club sport; and, I add. . . the loss of quality sports instruction and supervision other than only for the rich elite
During this stream I feel that I have indirectly been called overzealous and now rich elite... I don't feel any of those apply. I would describe myself as dedicated and passionate.
The no child left behind concept and the KSHSAA rules all look to hold the top down in hopes of bringing the bottom up and meeting in the middle. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! The top will pull the bottom up to a higher level if given the freedom to choose and the opportunity to excel. Administrators across the state are trying to muzzle guys like Jeff, Doug, and myself because they don't want to be passionate and invest in excellence. Strive for perfection and though you might not achieve it you will find excellence. If you are not making changes to improve then you are standing still and getting passed.
