School pride is just another thought/belief that interferes with the respect and compassion for others that we should be teaching. How many students learn they are inferior to others based upon athletic ability or lack of ability? It's time to eliminate some of the so called pride or feelings of superiority based upon physical games when it comes to public education, all this does is cause people to dislike another humanbeing because they went to the wrong school. I don't recall any of my participation in school sports being required information on any job applications. All it does is give us another reason to discriminate which in my eyes is not whats good for society overall.
Trades can be taught at trade schools, which honestly are an excellent choice for many, one that I wish my parents had considered.
