[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like OP to explain what's wrong with a B? [/quote] My post specifically said B minus, but I'm not going to parse it. IMO a B is a mediocre grade. You don't get into the top ten percent of your class or national merit or honor roll by being a B student. If sports help your kids prioritize their time and help them to earn good grades, that's great. That's not the question I posed though- I was asking why people let their kids stay in sports when it is AT THE EXPENSE of academics. [/quote] There are worse things in life than my children not getting a national merit scholarship. Like having them grow up without a healthy lifestyle and understanding the importance of physical activity, teamwork, and perseverance. Or having them grow up to be myopic, judgmental people.[/quote]
