<p>the best athletics at my school are swimming and tennis…</p>
<p>its so preppy</p>
<p>They all hang out together, wear Hollister/A&F type clothing and most of them are not too interested in academics. My school’s strongest sport is crew/rowing, and during rowing season (which is most parts of the year) they have to spend a lot of time together, so it’s no surprise that they’re rather similar to each other.</p>
<p>I actually know a jock that is smart. O_o</p>
<p>You make it seem like that’s a rare thing. I know 15+ who are smart.</p>
<p>i have never heard of aops. google is telling me it is “the art of problem solving.” is that it?</p>
<p>What the fu**???</p>
<p>^^Yes, it is Art of Problem Solving which is a math (and I think other things also) organization that has to do a lot with the AIME and contest math-like stuff. =)</p>
<p>Every person in my school in grades 7-12 is required to play a team sport.</p>
<p>There’s an alternative called Physical Conditioning, but they’re phasing that out, so only four or five of this year’s seniors are allowed to do it.</p>
<p>We have jocks, but it kind of is meaningless because literally everyone plays a sport. =/</p>
<p>@mathemagician, yeah aops is an amazing organization, largest branch of youth mathletes and the world’s smartest ones too, :D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Couldn’t have said it better myself!!</p>
<p>I know a bunch of jocks who are “smart smart”. Some of them underachieve, but some of them are in my AP classes who stay after school for help and stuff.</p>
<p>I know 1 asian jock.</p>
<p>They’re all sexy mofos. Especially a couple of the football players. <3</p>
<p>The only good athletes at my school are fairly smart as well. There are dumb jocks, but most aren’t the most athletic.</p>
<p>@mathemagician and shushugah:
Umm guys, I’m a girl hahah.
They get the supplement things off the internet with their moms’ credit cards because they’re illegal for under-21’s. The supplements are basically testosterone shots, so yeah I would say their behavior has changed.</p>
