[quote=Anonymous]If the coach failed to communicate when the school round would be, or that it would be the means of picking the team, then the coach is at fault.  If a kid was sick and the coach didn't offer a makeup, the coach is at fault.  If there was a school sponsored, highly important conflicting activity, that's on the coach.  If the kid simply had another activity and prioritized it over mathcounts, that's on the kid.  If the kid raced through the test, that's also on the kid.

The whole point about the competition being nerfed is absurd.  It already is the case that kids have to pick among several activities, and some of the kids who would be at the top won't be there at all.  That's life.  At Longfellow, there's no overlap between the science olympiad kids and the Mathcounts kids.  Many top mathcounts kids would also be top science olympiad kids and vice versa.  They have to pick one.  Kids who would be at the top in either of these, but also play elite travel sports might not be available.  Some kids who would have performed well at chapter or state got sick that day.  There is no asterisk because someone better wasn't there.  [/quote]
