Report Inappropriate Comments

I personally think that the first comment made was extremely rude. I believe however, students should be able to fail 2 classes and then be able to still continue sports. But, before I firmly believe in that.

Mrs. Lynch, What is the current policy? I understand after the student gets a D on their report card they can not participate in extra curricular activities. But my question is, What is there for student athletes when they fail? Are they put in a after school program and and tutored in the subject they failed? Or is it up to them to get their grades back up?

If so, then a proposal to the BWSC, If a student athlete fails they should be placed in a tutored session. After 6 weeks they can go in front of guidance councilors and the AD and show them their improvements and asked to be placed back on the Active Roster of that sport.
