[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Actually that's not my question. I'm trying to set up a choice to see what people value more: success in the classroom or success on the playing field. [/quote] I'd rather have a B student that has something else - it could be a sport or an instrument or anything actually than an A+ student that has nothing else in their life. It's a balancing act. So yea a kid that plays a sport at a high level is going to practices 2, 3, 4 times a week and traveling on the weekends to play games might actually have a lower GPA than a kid that does not do all that. That would be okay with me.[/quote] +1. And if I were silly enough to try and predict which student would be more "successful," the athlete in your scenario would get my vote. [/quote]
