 Sports is the very last place in public school where students are actually expected to adhere to decent values like honoring your commitments to something other than your own self.
You admit practice is only 2 hours out of the day. So the test and tutors couldn't be scheduled for any of the other 22 hours? 
My kids have played intense sports and managed to do makeup tests before school, during lunch or free periods and doctors appointments etc during other hours.
I was thrilled to have them get a real life understanding of the commitments and sacrifices that are needed to excel in other areas of life.
Keep your meddling, snowflake coddling Karen hands off sports culture. The meddling has ruined every other aspect of public school.

Your child sounds like a lemming.

Sport is a great place to actually learn life lessons and one lesson is that you have to have priorities and that sometimes people will think they are the priority when they are not.

My son also is an athlete, D1, all American, T30 school, T10 sports rank.

Guess what, the sport is still not always #1.

You're teaching your kid to lack values and to allow a coach to dictate his values. Your kid is probably too scared to stand up to a coach, then too scared to stand up to a boss in the future.

Do better.

Please and thanks. [/quote]
