[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a HS Sped Teacher, extra curricular activities are dependent on academic success. If a child is struggling academically because they cannot handle the commitment of their activity (sports is the most common one we see in HS), they need to stop the activity until their grades improve. IEPs don’t cover football. [/quote] While I don’t disagree that academics are more important than sports, and that sort of incentive would work for some kids, dropping extracurricular activities should not be your go to move. Rarely is it going to solve the underlying issues, and especially for kids with disabilities they can provide important social outlets. For this kid, I suspect he would have some other reason to rush out of school at the end of the day- he’s an elementary student! All dropping safety patrol would do is make him feel less competent, less excited for school, and overall less than his peers. [/quote]
