No Child Left Behind _ Football Version
The football version of what is going on in public education in the United States right now. (If you are not an educator; this may not make a lot of sense to you. But send it to your friends who are in education. They will love it!)
1. All teams must make the state playoffs and all MUST win the championship.
If a team does not win the championship, they will be on probation until they are the champions, and coaches will be held accountable. If after two years they have not won the championship their footballs and equipment will be taken away UNTIL they do win the championship.
2. All kids will be expected to have the same football skills at the same time, even if they do not have the same conditions or opportunities to practice on their own.
NO exceptions will be made for lack of interest in football, a desire to perform athletically, or genetic abilities or disabilities of themselves or their parents. ALL KIDS WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL!
3. Games will be played year round, but statistics will only be kept in the 4th, 8th, and 11th game.
This will create a New Age of Sports where every school is expected to have the same level of talent and all teams will reach the same minimum goals. If no child gets ahead, then no child is left behind. If parents do not like this new law, they are encouraged to vote for vouchers and support private schools that can screen out the non - athletes and prevent their children from having to go to school with bad football players.
