American universities give kids tons of scholarship money not because they study hard or any academic reason, but that they play sports; if you want your kids to learn anything, shouldn't you send your kids here to the UK? We have sports but not tied to college scholarships. I know, you guys want to find dumb kids from the ghettos, give them a football and a diploma so you can sell tickets and t-shirts and pat each other on the back. And all is justified in your country as bringing in money for the school. If American parents really want to give their kids a good education you really need to send them to England. MKC: Not true. The top sporting schools raise their tuition at a higher rate than the ones that don't do so well. J B: Where did you learn your extensive vocabulary?

The dumb kids from the ghettos are not in college for an education and they do not stop others from getting a good education. Both of my daughters received academic scholarships. Most Americans can not afford the Ivy League Universities. There are few who can afford to send their children to the UK.

What a dream, to attend Oxford for a Doctorate in Fine Literature! If only we could afford it. NOTHING is right with things right now, imo.

I think the elimination of physical education programs in seventh through 12th grade in California Is a travesty. That State lottery funds that started in 1986 had to supplement our schools revenue and are illegally used for other purposes. The spending per pupil has dropped from $15K in 1990 to under 10k now with prisoners costing way over 50K. Kids are burdened with heavy 30 year old books because providing school lockers proved inconvenient by the administration.Fees were raised for college students yet again by our governator who attended one free in 1974, and that's not a tax? I think the sports departments can all piss off!
