[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I don’t think freshman should be allowed to play at all. They need to focus on their studies and sleep. Practices for 4 hours a day, six days a week is like a part time job doing hard physical labor. How many of you would let your 14-15 year old son or daughter work 4 hours a day in a feed warehouse stacking bags of pellets?[/quote] My 15 yo was working 20 hours at our local ice cream shop during the school year - and more hours over the summer. She's not a sporty kid at all. There are plenty of kids who can balance out school - as in keeping up grades - and some outside activity, whether that be work or sports. depends on the kid But once you remove standards, it becomes demoralizing for kids who can find a balance. Regarding the IEP comment above, there are sports unrelated to schools. [/quote]
