  Case: Their kids play sports
You are a high school teacher, and Caleb Rushmore is the star running back for the football team. He sleeps in class and is extremely focused on football, and is, in fact, counting on a football scholarship. When his parents come in to conference, their main concern is his sports participation and eligibility. How would you handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would show the parents proof of what he is doing in class. They will not be able to see that he is sleeping in class but I would tell them this. I would also let them know that I understand how important sports are to him and how I am so glad that he is doing so well. However, I would let the parents know that once he gets into college he will not be able to do well there is he cannot do well in high school. I would ask the parents and the student what I can do to help them and how I can make his learning experience better.

On another note, I'm sure that the school has a set grade average for all sports and I believe that maybe that alone would be a cause for him to bring his grades up. That might also be motivation for the parents as well.
