@steveng3899 "you interpretated me as saying "Oh , the people in your class who excels in sports" ( most athletic )...Else read more carefully" This is a logic-based issue, not a reading-based issue. Based on your logic, the MORE athletic kids are, the MORE they "do well" in school. Im going to assume you mean academically. That blanket statement implies a trend that the "more athletic" they are, the smarter they are. And Im saying that not true.

Zhin what happens when everyone gets a high mark because of how "easy" it is? How we going to differentiate the top students from the rest of the pack? Whats the point of university if its for everyone? When everyone is "educated" at a high level, whos going to do the farming, manufacturing work, and other low skilled jobs?

 @steveng3899 Theres no "fine line"? The more athletic the children are, the more they tend NOT to do well academically?

@steveng3899 "My main message is me saying that people who exercise more often than the average joe tend to be better at academics" Am Im saying thats NOT true. 'However i DID NOT state "the more you exercise , the smarter you get" that's a direct correlation that you brought in' You implied that when you said "This is why the more athletic kids TEND to do well in schools" The students that tend to do well in school academically were NOT athletic at all.

@steveng3899 At this point its not longer about your "original" comment. Its about your messages in between. I have always responded accordingly to your previous comments. You can see that every comment I directly quoted your latest comments. My comment throughout the thread was basically "that is not true" - the more athletics kids do NOT tend to do academically well in school compared to those that are not athletic. And like I said, I respond accordingly. You claimed that I "belittled" you. Quote me where I supposedly "belittled" you. Do read carefully.

@steveng3899 "okok , so u disagree with my statement that the more athletic kids tend to do better" Its not about "disagreeing" - thats subjective. Its about you making a factually incorrect statement. "But in your main comment , rather than just saying you disagree , you decide to bring in "the most athletic kids when i was at school." By bringing along the "most athletic" you have twisted your subject of the matter at hand" Initial comment, not "main" comment. Theres a "fine line". You brought that up MULTIPLE times already. I already explained how your statement made that implication already. And you have explained yourself. Ive never brought that up again. Stop going round and around in circles. "So now are u also switching pointers?" The point has never changed. My point is that your statement "This is why the more athletic kids TEND to do well in schools" is NOT true.

@zhin13 " if the reduction in pressure only leads to more students failing, who wins in this scenario?" Who said anything about more students "failing"? Tests are meant to differentiate the students from top to bottom. Tests arent designed for students that did their work to get under 50%...

@antkant7676 "I never went to school because my family was poor" Oh and you expect me to believe that? Where did you learn your perfect English? How can you afford internet but not school? Trying to earn sympathy points are we? "And school teaches how to behave with idiots online yes? I didn't know that since I have never been to school" How to behave? You mean manners right? No, parents teach you that. Dont tell me you dont have parents too now.
