[QUOTE="GT_B, post: 25528, member: 887"] This problem is not an athletic issue...this has to do with core values and what society chooses as important. I love football and sports in general as much anyone I know but a kid being raised in a family who stresses academics and being educated is how this problem is changed, not an athletic scholarship. This is not meant to be a racist statement, just factual, a large chunk of black families/culture do not care 1 lick about education and whether their kids can read or write. Since this isn't important then it doesn't matter if they are struggle at school at a really young age because most likely the parents are just as uneducated as the kids. How can a kid learn to read from a parent who has the same reading level? Being educated falls on the parents and family as much as the educational system that just passes kids on when they shouldn't. [/QUOTE]
