Uh…what is the premise of this question? Is it some closet elitism? Or if a serious concern, what are you really concerned about? Who are you? Parent or student?

ALL colleges focus on academics. That many state schools and some private schools have athletics as a diversion for entertainment and school spirit is just another angle of the experience. Many feel that is essential for a healthy process of transition from childhood to young adulthood, and part of the socialization of students preparing them for the competitive real world. We aren’t a nation of robots or geeks working in cubicles…yet.
