I think athletics should be a part of schools, but am constantly appalled at how high of a priority they are given - especially at the expense of education.
Even IF your child becomes a college varsity athlete, the odds of them becoming a pro are around 7%.
Sports are an extracurricular activity - there should not be practices during the school day, academic credit should not be given for participating in them, and only students with a certain GPA, attendance, and good behavior record should be allowed to participate.
I don't know what exactly a reading coach is, but IMO learning to read properly is a hell of a lot more important than anything else going on on a school campus.
