[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 [b]national merit [/b]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] OT, but you can be a national merit semifinalist as a B student. All it takes is scoring at or above your state's cutoff on the junior year PSAT. There are lots of kids with better standardized test scores than grades, and vice versa.[/quote]
