text: I strongly believe that you are making a big mistake by making the students have at least a grade B average to play in sports. If you have not noticed, there are those kids in school who are working very hard to attain the grade score that they are at now. Then there are those of us who spend so much time with sports, that we do not have time to be the best we can be in school. Of course, I realize that this is a stupid argument to make against you, saying that because of sports, students are failing. Then again you could see it my way. We are giving it everything we have to make sure that you attain a school championship. You see, those most passionate amongst us are the ones that aren't doing so well. They are trying, but they have dedicated so much time to this game that we cannot hope to achieve anything out of the ordinary in school. I hope that we can come to an agreement. Say, they must take a test of some sort to make sure that it is possible for them to actually achieve the level of scholarly intelligence that this school is now requiring. We are trying everything that we can to do well in school, but how can we ever hope to achieve our goals if we have so much constant pressure on us? We could get kicked off the team if our grades aren't good enough, but if we don't practice we might not be good enough for the team anyway!
