I would like to see this money used on more aides in the classroom to work on reading, science, math, and academics.

Maybe if you had played high school athletics Fred, you’d know that there are many skills that are that stay with you a lifetime. Believe it or not, kids learn how to build relationships, decision making skills, learn how to take initiatives, learn respect, and teamwork/leadership.
Apparently, you don’t know many of our athletes at JHS, otherwise you would not have made such an ill-advised comment toward them.
