Yes, but maybe they're not into sports. Maybe the school should actually make an effort to cater to what they like instead of telling them what group activities the school feels they should do.
Or maybe they're not into math, or science. Why should schools cater to students who enjoy those activities?
Schools should not cater towards any particular student's preferences. Schools are responsible for providing their students with opportunities to learn.
Textbooks are essential to learning.
Cheerleading outfits are not.
When I was in high school, I was using a 15 year old math book and then went to assemblies where all the cheerleaders had new uniforms.
High School math hasn't changed in 15 years. Cheerleader outfit styles have.
Theaching math actually has changed over the past 15 years. Take a look at On the shoulders of giants.
Cheerleading outfits however are still the same 'hoocie' getups they've always been. It seems funny that a school administration which would send a student home for wearing a mini skirt supports an activity that requires girls to wear similar clothing during school events.
