text: Taking away a students activities, because of grades is like a double sided knife. It could: A. help them focus on their grades and become more successful. Or B. lower their success for that field in the future. Even though It's important to maintain good grades, I also believe more strongly in people doing what they are passionate about in the future. Cutting them off from their activities won't hinder them from pursuing the jobs that they are passionate about. Some kids want to become famous in acting, art, or sports. Kicking children out of these activities and making them focus more on academics could break their dreams of becoming what they want to be.
