[quote=Anonymous]Phew, OP, I just read through this whole thread. The vast responses agree that academics come before sports: test retakes, occasional tutoring sessions (no regular overlap with practices), and meeting with teachers after school to go over material that the child didn't understand in class. Doctor/dentist/therapist/orthodontics are fine sporadically (if they can't be scheduled at a different time, which a lot can't) because physical and mental health also come before sports. Overlapping sports for a week or two should be allowed if the child can give 50/50 to each sport during that transitional period, the parent should speak with the coach ahead of this. We are talking about a missed practice here and there during a season, this is not out of the ordinary. As adults, most of us (unfortunately not all) are provided with personal/sick days/flexibility to deal with life issues. This is just basic humanity. [/quote]
