text: If they're in the chess club, same thing. Let's say a team goes to nationals one year because of one kid. And the next year, that kid gets a bad grade. There can be no exceptions to the rule so if you want him back on the team, you're screwed. Because of one stupid little rule, you lose all chances of getting a nice trophy in your trophy case and your four year in a row winning streak. If you ask me, anyone with a passing grade should be allowed to do any school activity they want to.Have you ever been in a tough situation where you need advice? Will you just take your Mom's or your teacher's advice? Or a friend's advice? Perhaps there is not one answer, so you should get multiple opinions. Seeking multiple opinions enhances your chances of making the right call because they lead you in the right direction, they make you think about other consequences, and they express the thoughts of many people.
