text: Some kids only get that C average to be on a team and if you raise the average they might not even try to be on a team so now they have no reason to try to get good grades at all. That will lower students averages down and make the school look bad. Having the average higher might make the students under more pressure and stress. With a higher average they try harder on their schoolwork, then they go practice, and then they do their homework which as to be twice as good as it was before. When do these kids get some free time? Being on a sport team is hard enough but if they have to work even harder keeping their grades up it might be too much stress on themselves.
