Abstract
The basketball player who hits two free throws to win the game is never ridiculed for practicing foul shots. The runner who breaks a personal best is never jeered for training in all kinds of weather. The outstanding wrestler is never belittled for enduring tortuous workouts day after day. Yet, the aspiring, conscientious student is often mocked for studying, the academic equivalent of practicing. This has always bothered Bill Gallacher, English teacher and a two-sport varsity coach at Howell High School in Monmouth County.
