Few & far between. Sports does not make for a successful person. A 2 parent household & a good education at a private school are the keys. Looters and food stamp users are the norm for the 67% of spawn. Entitlement is the word.
I hope that the adage "There are none so blind, as those who won't see." Is not totally the situation here. During a recent conversation with one of the "despicable, SHS athletes & Streator spawn" this statement was made to me, when I asked about their pursuit of a full time student load & full time employment. "Why not? Papa did it, didn't he? I'm doing good, my grades are all ok." (that means all grades above a C) . I watched that boy, beat to heck, fighting on the football field at SHS, & City S. is right, he rarely saw a victory & he has life time lasting injuries as reminders of those years. But, he learned a million lessons about hard work, continuing to try to build a team, staying one's course in the face of overwhelming odds & I can go on and on. Just as Lucky & many others can about the fine people who have grown up in our town.

And I have to agree with you there CS, 2 parents are a real advantage. But the social scientists have studied the effects of sports programs on work skills, & those who've learned to operate physically & socially on a team make better equipped employees.
And, as one who chose to send my children to private schools, as a non church member, when the cost was almost double that of the members, I have to say I think it was worth every penny & every sacrifice. And I have been an advocate & supporter for the private schools, all along my way. But, no matter an old lady's opinion's, children do go to public school, & manage to come out, not only OK, but doing well. My own son, a private grade school graduate wanted to go to public high school. He went & he is the shining star on this old lady's lapel!! But, his wife & true love graduated from a private high school. Where his daughter is now enrolled!! π
2 parents that love and care about there kids sure is a plus. "BUT" Make no mistake about it a single parent that cares and pushes and guides there children in the right direction with engorgement makes all the difference in the world also.

I agree NOK, both of my parents worked from the time I was born, my precious Dad didn't get to be with us very often till I was 3 & was gone by the time I was 8. I learned that I had choices & opportunities all the same, even with only one parent. Actually the situation made me work harder & be responsible for myself very early. Thus my conviction that those "so-called" underprivileged kids are valuable and can make good choices for their lives. I've certainly not always made the best choices, but I've had a good & special time so far on my visit to planet π earth!!

Congratulations to the 2-7 spawn. 2 wins over a church league school aren't worth mentioning. Now the spawn can live their dream of being a looter & a dependent of the government. Time to knock some sluts up & get with dependency program. Time to get out of the taxpayer funded sports programs. Now walk for cure doesn't even need the bleachers next summer. $850,000 taxpayers money wasted. Also, fire the coach.

the spawn is getting used to sponging off the taxpayer early, like the teachers & city employees. What about the township supervisor who's knocking down over $40,000 a year & sponging a firemans pension? Also the city employees who golf for free & sneak their friends in for free. All taxpayer funded & a scam.

Thank the good spirit, the spawn didn't get humiliated last night. They had free time to vandalize & knock up the young sluts in town, last night. Tonight they'll probably throw a few pumpkins through Rocket's window tonight.

Eagle, cheer up , you can be happy knowing the spawn in the school rate in the top 10% for being the stupidest & poorest in the state. A claim to fame that is a sure draw for business to locate in your town.
