[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 571268, member: 1550"] There are places to play all levels of sports in the communities. You don't have to play in school or you're doomed. Sonic played sports his entire school years in an alternative setting because he never would have made the school team. You can cheer lead in other leagues too. You can do any activity you like outside of school. But you get the most attention from your peers if you play on school teams and the highest level players, for those with talent who are competitive, are at school. That does not mean that a lesser athlete, however, can not compete in a league. If you want to go elite, then the kids all know the athletic code. I asked my daughter, the athlete, about this situation and she shrugged and said, "The kids know the rules." But...that does not mean that this girl can not compete in another cheer league. It is a misconception that sports are only offered at school. Heck, once they graduate, there are tons of adult leagues. You never have to quit doing sports here. One of my boys did not like the idea of school teams. He would only play in recreational leagues, not in school. He was an excellent athlete too. It's up to the parents and the kids to find the right fits. Other activities, such as drama and art are also offered in the community if the kid doesn't want to do them in school. I agree with you, Suzir, that sports and other activities should be available to anyone who wants to do them, and they are. [/QUOTE]
