No Child Left Behind
The Basketball Version
Here's the basketball version of what
is going on in education right now.
If you're not an educator, this may not
make a lot of sense to you.
For all the educators . . . in or out of the system.
1. All teams must make the state playoffs and all MUST win the championship.
2.
If a team does not win the championship, they will be on probation
until they are the champions, and coaches will be held accountable.
3.
If, after two years, they have not won the championship their basketballs
and equipment will be taken away UNTIL they do win the championship.
4. All kids will be expected to have the same basketball skills at the same time even if they do not have the same conditions or opportunities to practice on their own. NO exceptions will be made for lack of interest in basketball, a desire to perform athletically, or genetic abilities or disabilities of themselves or their parents.
ALL KIDS WILL PLAY BASKETBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL!
5. Talented players will be asked to workout on their own, without instruction. (This is because the coaches will be using all their instructional time with the athletes who aren't interested in basketball, have limited athletic ability or whose parents don't like basketball).
6. Games will be played year round, but statistics will only be kept in the 4th, 8th, and 11th game. It will create a New Age of Sports where every school is expected to have the same level of talent and all teams will reach the same minimum goals. If no child gets ahead, then no child gets left behind.

Note:
If parents do not like this new law, they are encouraged to vote for
vouchers and support private schools that can screen out the
non-athletes and prevent their children from having to go to school
with bad basketball players.
