This is a very interesting subject.... one that has been argued ad naseum up here.

The Canadian school spirit and life falls somewhere in between the UK and US systems. Schools are organized more closely on the UK system and borrows the idea of the student clubs run by students, but attempts are made to procure alumni support as in the US system (dosen't work all that well).

Support for school teams are dismal compared to the US system...

I'd like to know why fundamentally the support for school spirit is higher in the US.
