School vs. Sports

            Pros
            You don’t have to be athletic to get anywhere in life. You can play no sports and still do fine in life. Most of the jobs today are based on education. It is more important than activities and sports. In school most of your classes test you on what you know and not what you can do physically. Even in gym they want you to know stuff mentally and not only physically. To pass college courses, and to even get scholarships, you need good grades. You can’t rely on strength or endurance or skill to get you a job in life. How many people do you know that can get bad grades and still get scholarships? I don’t know any and that’s because you need to be mentally mature and have higher intelligence to make it through life successfully.
            Cons
            As much as you need intelligence, physically skill is helpful in many things. There might be more occupations with intellectual skills needed but there are also a lot of physical jobs. Also if you are healthier and more physically fit there is a larger chance that you will live longer and be able to continue your career longer therefore making more money for you and maybe a family that you are supporting. A lot of things in life can be and are better if you are healthy. You can participate in more activities and be open to more options in life. You can go and see more places and be able to do more things. Sports open kids and adults to more options than sitting at home all day.
