[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And so, OP, what say you?[/quote] I'm not really a "sporty" person. But I prefer sports to be separate from academics - similar to what's done in European countries. But if they're connected, then I think kids should keep their grades up. Sadly, I've been asked by too many teachers in coaching spots to "work with" Student X. (translation - Pass him.) I'm not saying these coaches were the norm, as I've also worked with colleagues who were strict. thing is this - If a kid "earns" a sports scholarship b/c s/he was passed along, college will kill him/her. And what happens if a kid is hurt? Brains before brawn, I say. -OP [/quote] Kind of like when smart kids with no athletic ability are on the team so he can have a group of friends. I doubt a kid majoring is Psychology is going to get "killed" in college because his Geometry teacher "passed him along".... which is what happens even if he is not an athlete. [/quote]
