Reblogged from the quiet voice:
I have attended every book club meeting at my school. I've never missed a National Honor Society meeting, a Math Honor Society meeting, a Social Studies Honor Society meeting, or a Latin Honor Society meeting. But when I tell people that I've never attended a high school football game, I am always asked the same question: what's wrong with you?
A well written post that hit's a spot that needs to be looked at a lot more closely.
Reblogged this on The Broken Shelf and commented:
I happen to agree with this post.
I’ve reblogged it and couldn’t agree more.
Thomas did a great job highlighting the issue, it’s just not fair. Not because teams rake in money for the school means that they should get the majority on the chances for scholarships. I really appreciate the re-blog.
not a problem. I completely agree. It isn’t fair. I also hate that athletes get paid more then teachers. If it wasn’t for the teachers they wouldn’t be in any sports. But I think that’s a totally different issue.
