Craig is really bad on parker space, and more than that exiting lanes and entering lanes. Its a huge mess. Just because you play sports and go and watch them doesn't mean your going to rot in a bar. Thats probably 5-10 kids that grow up and do that. Think about it 2000 kids graduate from each high school, so that would mean the 1000 or so kids in sports that you say will do "rot" doesn't add up. Unless i am missing some big rotting hole. The school is focusing on academics. Many new engineering labs and tech ed labs are being placed, those are jobs needed in todays society.

Also if you think because they are some kids grow up to rot as so, think if their life-line, aka sporting event was cut? I Mean, do you really want them causing problems in the study zones? Because think about it, if they aren't going to have something to study hard for, and work towards, school will be a much more distractful place.

BlackIrish, French club and newspaper do not get left out. First off French teachers at Craig at least do movies nights, honor society, and many traditional activities that are out of school. News paper, is a offered class that you have to be accepted to join. Also most clubs need a school teacher to run and supervise, its not the lack of funding for clubs per say, but the difficulty of finding teachers willing to donate time. They are already underpaid as it is. Sports do so well because they have many teachers and public supporters. I say as long as kids are willing to obied to academic standards, school rules, and team rules they should have a decent place to do so. Yes, no one becomes of pro athlete but sports provide a positive learning experience that will enhance your child's ability to develop self confidence, good sportsmanship and teamwork skills. Sports also teach all of us to work hard and have a little fun at the same time.

Self-esteem is something you cannot give your child. We gain positive self-esteem through accomplishments. In sports, your child can reach goals, big and small, and feel good about themselves. It is not important to be the star. Teach your child to strive to reach personal goals.

In sports there are setbacks, defeats and even injuries. How you handle it says a lot about your character. Your child will be a lot happier if he or she learns to take setbacks in stride and concentrates on doing better next time.

If your child decides to play a sport, make sure you are playing your role the best way you can. Don't pressure your child. Instead be supportive and help him or her through any difficulties or conflicts. It's great to practice with your child, but don't be overbearing and make practice feel like a punishment.

Keep your emotions in check. Avoid criticizing your child or others in public and in private. Instead offer help if there is a certain skill he or she can improve. Never humiliate a child.

Sports help prepare your children for the working world, and life in general. Encourage your child to find a team sport that they will enjoy. Continue to talk with them and support them. Your involvement will enhance their experience.
