text: I do agree that with some students earning F's and D's it's because they do not complete their work and do not try to pay attention. For some of them, this is because they are being influenced by peers in a wrong fashion. Other times it's because they don't want to listen, don't want to learn, and don't want to get a good job in the future because they don't care about anything beyond "I want to be like my friends and everyone else." Sometimes, yes, I would have to agree that straight D and F students should not participate in extra curricular activities.
