And some kids that are actually good in the classroom
and good on the football field, really hit a gold mine.
I have a senior in Physics this year who is a good student,
a very good football player (although not recruited by top
Big 12 schools) going to Stanford full ride. Not bad.
His parents made sure before he signed that he would be
allowed to take real classes, not basketweaving.[/quote]

Great to hear. My fav teacher in HS Mr. Pasquesi was also a physics teacher. Although his classes were tough he'd give some points for trying to reason the problem out and putting down correct formulas regardless of the answer. He also took the time to make every answer a whole number giving the student a chance to go back and figure a mistake should he (all boys school) end with a fraction or decimal. Unfortunately he had to leave to pursue a career in the private sector as he had six kids to put thru college. Met up w/him last year and his last is finishing up law school and he plans on returning to Loyola. (Catholic school, little pay) hopefully some of your alum take the time to come back and say thank you
