    This article list an important fact about how many actuall "full ride scholarships" are given out. Even though it does not state much of the academic side it states a very true and important fact.

    This is interesting because my daughter is college age and so are my nieces, they would find this interesting.

    oh wow! This is really interesting. I tried to get a track scholarship to Sam Houston in 2006. When I realized that would be almost impossible I just decided to be a regular student. I find that when you are in high school it is more common to see college scouts looking more for the boys. I am glad to see, according to this article, that more females are being offered full rides to college. This is awesome!

    This is one of the very first articles I came across when looking for my information. It also breaks things down and demonstrates what should be focused on and why. Numbers again play a major part in this article and this article also introduces how youtube can be used. I know that many college coaches now use skype to talk to prospective athletes if they live far.

Why cameras on school buses - 1 views

  •  
    This video shows the importance of cameras on school buses and how they hold everyone accountable, help the driver focus more on driving rather than constantly having to monitor children through the mirror and how the cameras act as a silent witness in observing and reporting student behavior on the bus.

    Not a bad idea, to keep everyone safe. And to present evident of bullying.

    I think it is an awesome idea to put cameras on school buses because just like the driver said in the video, it is impossible to properly monitor the students while trying to watch traffic as well. As a child, there was always something going on in the back of the bus and when the driver asked what happened, no one saw anything! Therefore, I think cameras on the bus is a great idea to help ensure student's safety.

    You can't go wrong with cameras on a school bus. The summer following my freshmen year in high school, I would ride the bus to summer school everyday. The bus picked us up from what was considered to be one of the worst neighborhoods in the community. Everyone that rode that bus got along with one another very well, however there was still bullying going on. The bullying was not student to student, it was student to bus driver. That poor man endured so much harassment from the students that after about 2 weeks he quit. Students would throw things at him while he was driving (paper, candy, you name it). I don't see how he got us to school and back alive with so many distractions. No one got in trouble for the way the bus driver was treated because there were no cameras on that bus. After he quit they sent a new bus to pick us up, it did have cameras. That was the end of that. I think this video was short and straight to the point. It is much more safe for everyone to have cameras on the bus.

The Truth about Sports Scholarships - CBS News - 2 views

  •  
    This just like all the other articles on Athletic scholarships states what exactly goes on behind the scenes. Even though it is a very short and brief article it does not sugar coat and sale anything to the athletes. It shows what the realities are and what one needs to be aware of. It is better to be informed of the reality than to let your dream live on what you think something is. Knowledge is power, in this case it is also going to alleviate stress and headaches.

    This article is so true. So many high school athletes have high hopes of going to college on an athletic scholarship and don't realize that it may not be guaranteed for all four years old school. This is particularly true for women athletes. I had a few female friends in college who went on athletic scholarships but ended up off them after a year or two. Having a second or back-up plan is important for students pursing athletic scholarships incase it doesn't work out. Another thing is many student athletes have high hopes of going pro. I think someone needs to really educated college athletes at the beginning of their school careers and let them know the likelihood of them actually going pro and the importance of making the most of their education to be prepared to work later in life.

    Wow! This is another good article. I found the whole website interesting. I actually have a teenager that is about to graduate within the next year. He runs cross-country, and he is pretty good at it. He is top two in his school. We have been discussing colleges and scholarship offers that are available. After reading this article, it really had me thinking about the scholarship offers that are even available for my son. As a business teacher, I enjoy discussing college options for my students as well. This article gave me some helpful information that enlighten my knowledge of divisions and which sports usually get a full-ride. It is important to have a backup plan and not to rely on one school. Students should always have a plan B. Sports are not everything without a good GPA.

    The article was a good read. I think working with the coaches and athletes you have to understand it is a business but in the same breath. It also depends on the sport your child is playing. Basketball. Basket, Football are the most grueling sports when it comes traveling and practice times. So, just research the school and what are the practice times if you have a focused student then they can come out with the right degree.
