Applying K-12 Ed Best Practices to Youth Sports?

I’m a sports dad and coach with a wife who is on the cutting edge of K-12 Education. And I frequently wonder, why we are not applying the best practices of K-12 Education to Youth Sports. Especially in a generation when youth sports has become such a commercialized institution, it lacks so much humanity, communication and collaboration. So why not apply practices from the education world that just make sense for youth sports?

On the lighter side…

More great humor from our friends at Weekly School News: Area residents, Robert and Jennifer Matthews, parents of six year-old Andrew, have been saving money for Andrew’s college education for nearly three years, just on the very remote chance he does not earn a full athletic scholarship to the college of his choice.
