NFPLB: No Football Player Left Behind

All teams must make the state playoffs and all MUST 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.If after two years they have not won the championship, their footballs and equipment will be taken away UNTIL they do win the championship.
All kids will be expected to have the same football 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 football, a desire to perform athletically, or genetic abilities or disabilities of themselves or their parents. ALL KIDS WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL!
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 football, have limited athletic ability or whose parents don’t like football.
Games will be played year round, but statistics will only be kept in the 4^th, 8^th, and 11^th 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. 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 football players.

This analogy is not about football, its about expecting perfection for kids under impossible circumstances. Can you expect every child to be score perfectly on that test when every one is different. They are children who must learn, not robots who can simply be programmed. No matter the skill or background, every child must win the state champion ship or the entire school is punished. How about focusing on the coaching instead of the season’s game results. How about helping every child to succeed instead of just the talented ones who will succeed anyway. NCBL is asking the wrong question. So, what is the right question to ask?
