Schools should lessen their attention on athletics and start supporting academics instead. The clubs ad organizations at school help students became for diverse in their skills and find what interests them. While athletics are encouraged they shouldn't be placed above education and instead be considered another club or organization in order to have a more even distribution in importance. Students view athletics as the central thing that the school revolves around. This should be changed.
