  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!)
I would simply explain to the parent that if his grades are dropping and nothing changes he could possible have to repeat the grade because he's not getting anything done. Yes, baseball and extra curricular activities are important, but parents need to learn how to be parents and school comes first.
