Each school exists quite well on its own...why mess up a good thing? I'll go you one better---each school would not be as good academically or athletically without the other. A little competition is a good thing!

I cant think of one other thing that you have ever typed that I thought was not biased, but I will agree with you somewhat in this. I think that academics WOULD NOT suffer. You could weed out the dead weight teachers from each system. Actually the overall academic prowless in the county schools may be somewhat better than that of the city schools right now. I think that eventually after a few years that athletic superiority would decline. With less over all positions available to compete for in each respective sport, interest has a way of declining among the student population. Bottom line is, leave things the way they are. It gives more kids an opportunity to participate.
