text: Teachers say well if we keep on letting them play their sport then they wont try to keep their grades up at all. No, that is not entirely true. A way to fix this predicament is to have consequences and tutors. For example, if a basketball player receives a 65 on a test. Tell them that they can't start their next game unless they can pull it back up. Also, if you have tutors ( especially for the ones who struggle in math) it could help then bring their grades up to a B and possibly an A. These kids don't purposely try not to accomplish As its just hard for them to do it. All they need is a push.
