SuMmEr asked: My 6th grader in in volley ball and I told her that if VB got in the way of school work, then she would not be able to play.Well I found out she is hiding her homework or not bringing it home and rushing to get it done before school or between classes. They have block schedule so homework is always due at 2 days later than assigned, giving plenty of time to complete it.
I decided to not let her play in the game Wed because work she got Fri and Mon was not done. Does anyone agree with me. I told her she can earn VB back if she gets her work done next week.
I do help her with her home work when she needs it. She has from 3:45 when she gets home until 5:45 to get it done before practice or game. In our High School the rules of playing in sports are that grades are above a C average. I am only tryin to get her used to thoae rules. She gets plenty of exercise without VB and just stands in one spot on the court anyway. Yes I want to encourage her to do what she is interested in, but not at the sacrifice of school work.
We (my hubby, numerous counselors and I ) have been trying to teach her to make good choices for 6 years and she has yet to learn. Believe me, we have tried everything.
