[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a special needs child who has been barred from sports because he is incapable of a 2.0. Even an IEP does not override this requirement. He would have benefited greatly from being able to participate and every single team member agrees. So, I am all for getting rid of it. It’s discriminatory plain and simple. [/quote]

No it isn't.  You shouldn't be practicing for hours after school if you can not even keep a C average.   Stop trying to streamline everyone crying discriminatory if we don't.  Then come in and change the minimums because your kid is streamlined.  Unbelievable.  [/quote]

You do know there are kids that can study all night long and will still fail a class.

If you can't run a mile in &lt; 6 minutes I think you should be banned from AP classes.[/quote]

That makes sense. Most of us spend all day running rather than reading, writing, and doing math. We should just have our kids focus on speed and agility rather than literacy. There’s an infinite number of jobs as professional athletes. Those of that are focusing on academics are completely misguided.[/quote]
