Kickoffs in high school football should be from the 30.

Here's why I think the kickoff should be moved back from the 40 to the 30: High school coaches have never really needed to develop kickers.  After all, offense and defense is football, right?  For so many years, I've not seen but a few schools who have a really good kicker to kickoff.  There's no need to since they just need to kick it 20-30 yards to get it off their side of the field and onto opponent's side of the field.  I'm even thinking that onside kicking it is truly the best strategy for everyone if it is going to remain from the 40.  That would put the ball past midfield and out of scoring territory, and you might get the ball back too.  If the kickoff is from the 30, I would not be onside kicking it everytime, and I would send kids to camp to get better at kicking.  What do you think?
