text: On the other hand, this school policy change could help out students. Since the grade average requirement would be bumped up from a C to a B students are definitely going to have to work harder. This could help out on the school's overall academic scoring. There would be more B grades than C. Since students are willing to work up to a C grade average just to play sports or be involved in an activity, they would probably even work up to a B just for the privilege. Sometimes you may just have to give students something to work for, something to make the struggle worth while, and that prize in this case would be sports and any extracaricular activities. So in the long run, this may help out not just student's grades, but their self confidence in being able to set a goal for themselves, and reaching that goal through hard work and determination. Whatever choice you make, I'm sure our school would benefit from it either way.
