While I fundamentally agree that ALL schools should be working to improve their product, this is a legitimate issue. Don't hold me to exact numbers, but I'm thinking Bishop England had won something like 15 state championships in boys' soccer, and multiple (10?) consecutive titles in volleyball. The school's staff, student population, parental involvement, facilities, resources, etc., are unique among Class AAAA schools, much less Class AA. ALL CREDIT TO THE BE FAMILY FOR THAT! But the fact remains, in many instances, the school is not competing on a level playing field.
So, what do we do? "Dumb them down" or sharpen other programs up?
