While they really should fix their mistakes and get that paper turned back in for a better grade. Sure it would be nice to allow kids, who have a C in every subject, participate in an exciting sport or activity but the truth is that would really hurt their future. the reason it would hurt them is because if you allow them electives the will get a certain thought stuck in their head that they will live by and that is "Hey I can get a lot of bad grades and I'm still invincible.
