Re: Robotics vs Sports

Fair enough. Should reword the thread to best value for school systems.

This is an issue because the Philly school system cut robotics across the board yet maintained football and other sports. All while complaining that the drop out rate, graduation rates and budgets in the city are continuing to decline. If the school really wanted to get its money's worth they should shut down the football teams and fund cross country, soccer and other low cost per student sports. Robotics being one of them.
