[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]

Not even close. A 2.0 is almost failing, and if the average is that low it would be highly alarming (discounting any disabilities). So try a better comparison to running a mile in &lt; 6 mins: A 2.0 avg is more comparable to being unable to jog a mile in 17 minutes. In that case yeah, maybe you shouldn't attempt an AP class (kidding of course, since a school's primary purpose is education not sports).[/quote]
