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:

About as much as HS English IV reading of Homer's Illiad and the Odyssey did.

One of you made the comment about there being a small percentage of graduates who go into careers of certified athletic trainers, personal trainers, etc; well, of there were more kids who were introduced to those areas and really taught it, then it quite possibly might have some impact on making our society a little less fatter and inactive than it already is.

As for lifting after school, ask your small schools who share multiple athletes who play, play, play...but, don't have a chance to get biggers, faster, stronger the benefits it would allow.

Why is it band can have band throughout the day (multiple times) for band only kids? And Humanities isn't an area tested anymore, which was the umbrella they use to slide it under (which was still a crock).
