There's always soem sort of cheerleading scandal in Texas it seems.
This has been all over the news, and just yesterday they mentioned this had caught the attention of Newsweek...
These teens need a wake up call. I, for one, am elated that this got the attention it did. Another cheerleading event took place at another "affluent" Metroplex High school; this time, a bunch of cheerleader wannabees got upset when they didn't make the team, so they protested. The end result (if memory serves) one big-*** herd of cheerleaders that year. Everyone was allowed to be on the team that tried out...
WTF?
Kids need to learn you won't succeed at everything you do, and, life isn't fair... What if Michael Jordon hadn't gotten cut from the high school team his 9th/10th grade year? Would he have worked as hard as he did to come back and prove himself? That "set back" resulted in a man who became the greatest professional basketball player (to date) the world has ever known.
We're raising a generation of candy-*sses. We, as parents, have got to let these kids get knocked on their butts. Let them fail. I don't mean don't help them, I'm just saying that when they aren't good enough, tell them to train harder, study harder. In doing so, we have to teach them- it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get up that counts. I've heard all sorts of BS since I've been in Texas.
If the kid can't hang, they either need to get help, or get left behind. But, we aren't helping them by putting them where they want to be if they aren't up to the challenge, be that academics, athletics, or- even cheerleading...
If your fat daughter wants to be a cheerleader, get her a membership to 24-hour fitness, and see how badly she really wants it. If your son runs the 40-yard dash in 6.6 seconds, but wants to play Fullback. Get out there with him, and have him run wind sprints everyday, until he improves enough to make the team. If he really wants it, he'll put the X-Box controller down, get off the couch, and make it happen.
Don't go crying foul for the bar to be lowered so you can jump over it. Find a way to get over it.
Way to go Miss Ward!
PS- The only cheerleaders I want to see at the game, are the ones from that movei, "The Replacements" with Gene Hackman & Keaneu Reeves.

- Teacher's shouldn't use red ink to mark a students paper because it makes the child feel bad.
- Teacher's shouldn't write the grades on the paper. (A, B, C, D, F)
