when was the last time a regular kid, one that wasn't going to college, used algebra or trigonometry or calculus in the "real world"? like it or not, the vast majority of high school students never finish a 4-year program.

You hit the nail on the head and drove it home my friend. I totally agree with the bolded quote. And the reason being BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT PREPARED IN HIGH SCHOOL.

I don't know how programs around the state operate but I do know that on the local level weights is only to better the football programs. The coach is the teacher and the enrollment in the class is 95% football players. Who by the way has only produced two D1 players (4 years) in the last 20 years.
