text: Some kids have a hard time paying attention in class, or just have a hard time learning in general. I personally do not think that you should take away ALL sports privileges if a student shows effort in their work but is still not getting the grade needed to participate in a sport. Instead try talking to them about why they are struggling in class, and what you could do to help them ; or you could try making them sit out for a certain amount of games. This way you are still taking away the privilege but not making them stop playing the sport all together.
