[HAT51]

For the record, my kids do know how to balance a check book. Both have jobs, both have savings accounts, both have just started an IRA and they have learned it all at home. And why is that, becuase our school systems feels that weight lifting is more important than those things that actually happen in the real world.

Sorry people but you can not conveince me that weights should be part of school curriculum. No one has given a legit reason to why it should either.

Me personally I have a problem paying a teachers salary to sit on his/her ass while students lift weights just to help him/her to increase the sports winning percentage. They are paid to teach first and extra curricular second. If you don't want to put in the time before or after school then don't be a part of it.

I guess before I posted my opinion I should have realized I'm posting on a site full of sports freaks (including myself). Just figured people would use common sense and be realistic.

I bet you were turned down by administration about an in school weight lifting program.
