Or how the other little simple things in life that kids dont know how to do either. How about being taught what a screwdriver is and how to use one or how to sew a button on, or perhaps how to cook some sort of a meal. If they dont even take college prep classes, I would much rather mine be involved in something like an industrial arts class or home economics class than to lift weights. I realize that college is not for everyone. It's amazing how many kids are completely helpless when it comes to the little basic things that everyone should know how to do.

:Thumbs::Thumbs:
And the reason for this is because you have people like those on this site who believe weights should be part of the schools curriculum.

Before anyone disagrees with me look back over what I've said cause never in any post have I said kids shouldn't lift weights. I think its great for the athletic programs but it definately has NO benefit in preparing a kid for college. So if you want to respond with a rebutal, inform me of the benefits and why it should be part of school curriculum and why the kids shouldn't do it before or after school hours.:thanks:
