text: Second, just because you are athletic, doesn't mean you are smart. You want people to have a B and I agree that a B is a great grade. But what about the students who aren't great in subjects? What about the ones who are just good? You cant expect them to get a good grade because they are struggling. Being athletic has nothing to do with being smart. Some athletes today are not good in school and they are very popular and famous. And its not just sports, its all the activities. Like band and yearbook club. Some kids may know how to play the trombone or the baritone but cannot pass English class. Some kids may be prodigy photographers and cannot pass Language Arts class. So just because your athletic, doesn't mean you are smart, which is the second reason why you should change your mind about the B average situation.
