[quote=Anonymous][quote]Wow. So my kid who tried out for a competitive sports team, got selected against the odds, and is a JV non starter is not welcome on the team if I value his academics over his sport? I love that he tried out. Love that he gets to play for his school. Love that it teaches him discipline, communication, and time management along with being good for him to stay physically active. But 2 hours every day is a lot and if something academic conflicts, I would absolutely make him pay attention to school first.[/quote] I am not PP. How often are we talking? If you mean like once or twice in an entire season, that's likely fine. If it is more frequent, then maybe he's not in a place to balance academics and sports demands - and that is totally ok. But there are a limited number of spots on teams, and they should go to kids who are able to show up. That's basic fairness.[/quote]
