Tang, feed my curiosity. Outside of funding, what reform do you feel is needed in public education?

I'd probably watch more college sports if they paid the players.

I'm not a fan of paying them. College FB players are getting a free education. That's pretty good compensation. I think they should be able to profit off of their own names. If they want to make money signing scholarships, go for it.

The schools make billions, pay coaches millions, and the players, the guys people actually pay to watch, get a scholarship.

Yeah, no. That’s ******.

It's amazing how different regions value different levels of sports. The North and west love their pro sports. The south and southeast love the college game. I guess it's a product of who's good at what. Our pro teams are less than desirable, but we run the show in college. Cali has some decent college baseball. Fullerton is always really good. I find the college game to be much more pure. I can't watch the NFL anymore. It feels like every game someone is being carted off with a back or neck injury.

I think that the NFL id better than College Football and College Basketball tops the NBA.

Well, part of the FEAEC report is Mental Heath reforms in schools and oversight in school reforms. I would like to see STEM burn in a fire, and overhaul the required classes in schools. I also think we need less testing and teaching to the test

I agree, they should profit off their own names but no signing money or contracts.

I will have to look up the first part, but why the hatred for STEM? I agree about the classes and the testing. I think testing is important to gauge progress, but the current format is ridiculous. As far as classes, I would see them become more relevant and practical. They should offer financial responsibility and training classes. I'm pretty sure a lot of schools have cut home economic courses.

All in all, I think more power needs to be given back to local districts. The academic leaders in the communities know much better what their children need than buearocrats in Washington.

I just don't enjoy watching the Shazier incidents and it seems like they are becoming more and more common.

In short, STEM kills the arts and creativity, which are far more important than STEM classes.

I was thinking the exact same thing with classes.

I am cautious about local districts. Their priority is parents and money.

People get injured in college too. Football is violent.

How is their priority money?

In my opinion, STEM classes are more important than arts with the direction and prevalence of technology today, but those classes are practically pointless in their current format. They are nothing more than electives that the kids don't take seriously.

True, but not at the rate of NFL players. I understand that they make the choice to play while fully understanding the risk, I just choose not to watch it on a regular basis. I'll catch a game every now and then.

Just look at school funding disparities. You already mentioned that they spend on athletic facilities.

In my opinion STEM should be electives. Math, Science, Technology, etc are all job related. Electives should be job specific. Arts help literally everyone.

In the second half of your second point were you talking about STEM or arts classes?

In my opinion the NFL is just better. The style of play is 100000 times better. College football, 99% of the time, ends with scores like 45-17 or scores like 10-3. NFL games are more fun to watch because of the parity, and every player is one of the greatest in the world. It also helps that I don't really have a good C Football team to watch. Kansas? Nope. I love the Chiefs in the NFL though. It's the opposite in the basketball world. Kansas and Wichita State are really good, and unless the Kansas City Kings get brought back (#BRINGBACKKCK), there is no NBA team to latch on to.
