Case: Baseball Parent
I have a student who is really involved in baseball. He repeatedly does not bring in his homework and tells me he does not have time because he has baseball practice and games every night. When I spoke to his parents, they told me baseball was his passion and his dream and they supported that. They said they would work on the homework issue. It has been three weeks since I had that conversation and nothing has changed. How can I stress to this child's parents that education should be a priority above baseball and how important it is to complete and submit his homework each week in a more effective way.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Many teams have specific requirements for study hours. If your school's team has specified times for the student athletes to work on homework, have the student come to you during that time (if you are still at school). I have also found talking to the coach can have a big impact. Lastly, while I do not support letting him off the hook for the work he needs to do, maybe consider giving him extra time to complete his work on days that he has a game. |

| Comments: In high school, if baseball is really his passion, they will not let the player play in the game without grades. It is important to stress that to the student and parents now then when it is too late. I do not agree with this solution because, as a teacher, I should not have to go find the coach and have him threaten the player. The parents need to be aware of this issue and on the same side as me, not the student. |

| Comments: While this post has good ideas, I do not think giving him extra time to do/turn in school work is such a good idea because it is almost as bad as saying that it is okay that he doesn't turn his work in on time. Not only that, but it would not be fair to the other students that aren't allowed to turn their homework in with leniency. He should get the same time to turn things in like everyone else. |
