No Child Left Behind Football

1.All teams must make the state playoffs, and all will win the championship.
If a team does not win the championship, they will be on probation until
they are the champions, and coaches will be held accountable. In a
recent experiment, the University of Nebraska football program modeled
this theory.

2. All kids will be expected to have the same football
skills at the same time and in the same conditions. No exceptions for
interest in football, desire in athletics, genetic abilities or
disabilities.... ALL KIDS WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL.

3. Talented players will be asked to work out on their own without
instruction, because the coaches will be using all their instructional
time with the athletes that aren't interested in football, have limited
athletic ability, and whose parents don't like football.

4. Games will be played year round, but statistics will only be kept
in 4th, 8th, and
11th grades.

5. This 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 minimal goals.
If no child gets ahead, then no child will be left behind.


I also have "No Cow Left Behind".  Let me know if you'd like to see it.
