Speaking of high school football  (not the weight problem, but the eligibility problem) – –
The Charlotte Observer has been investigating the eligibility of high school football players from highly visual, winning teams in Mecklenburg County.  One aspect of eligibility has to do with grade point average, which is important since schools really do exist for academics and NOT athletics. However, another component of eligibility deals with student assignment and if the student resides in the correct boundary lines.
Seem students ? and parents ? are manipulating the system, even to the point of lying, so they can attend a school of choice.  This reminds me of Prohibition ? why not just allow for open enrollment and let folks attend where they want to go!
There you have it, school choice solves another problem!!
