text: A lot of times a student is playing a sport, and that's the only thing their life revolves around at the moment. They put their social life on hold, they put their school work aside, and that sport is the only thing that matters to them. For example, last year in seventh grade I was involved in an after school sport. Each day i would come home at three o' clock from school. After a long day, i' d get my things ready for practice and made sure i had every single thing i needed. I would then make sure i had a healthy snack and i would leave for practice. Practice usually lasted about three to three and a half hours. When i was done my mom would pick me up around seven fifteen. By that time, i was very tired and worn out. We would sit down eat dinner, then i would take a quick shower and i was done for the day. At that point it was around ten o' clock and i was done for the day, i was completely worn out and then it was time to go to bed. As you can see, it is very hard for students to complete their work after school when they are in a busy sport. It would probably just be best to lower the grade or give an alternative to the children enabling them to make that average grade of a B.
