[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question says it all. Unless your kid is truly scholarship material, I seriously don't understand why you'd let your kid play sports when they are bringing in low Bs. I know colleges like sports because the student seems more well-rounded, but that's stupid if it comes at the expense of grades. [/quote Some kids aren't geniuses, and therefore, parents think that they'll shine through sports - maybe earn a scholarship, for example. But I agree. In this country, sports trump academics. This is not the case elsewhere.[/quote]
