Your opinion of the film
Sport is healthy for the body and mind, and schools all over the world implement physical activity in the school's everyday life, because it is proven to be good for the learning skills.
American children grow up with the idea that there is only one way to a successful life. Children in the American school system believe that the only way to the university is through sport, because many of them cannot afford to take an education without a scholarship. That is why many people are frustrated because many wise children do not get the chance to show their worth on the school bench, because they are seen through. This means that many children do not go to school, because they know that they have to focus 100% on their sport, in order to become something in life. And it is not only the children who are brainwashed by sport, their parents, teachers and trainers are as bad at informing the children, about how important it is to get an education, with or without sports as a main subject. Many say things like "He gets a passing grade not for his academic achievement, but for how to pass a ball " and "All you need to do is show up for class" etc. And it does not exactly help on their willpower to want life, if they are unfortunate and do not get a scholarship. The sport is not only a negative thing. It teaches the children about the competition of life and that physical activity is healthy and a basic source of life without obesity and disease. Sport also provides the ability to be good at teamwork, which is important for the sport, but also just as a human being, it is a human attribute to be able to collaborate around things to create better things together. Two brains are better than one.
