NY Times #3

Many school districts are suffering from budget cuts, forcing the school officials to cut certain programs and classes-especially sports and gym. Many families are not looking into alternative sports such as boxing, especially in Southern California. Cuts to athletic programs in toledo were the most extreme; cross country wrestling, golf, tennis, cheerleading and dance teams, even freshman and middle school programs. Only $1 million is left to finance remaining programs. The option is to send children to boxing where they will suffer from injuries, orleave the kids alone afterschool in gang filled neighborhoods.
