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!)
As the teacher, I would begin the conference by expressing how proud I am of the student and their athletic ability to the parents. Personally, I was in the same situation as Caleb, and I actually did participate in a college athletics. Telling this to the parents could make them feel more comfortable knowing that I have been in a similar situation as their son. Next, I would explain that athletic scholarships are a blessing but that they are not 100% about the athletics. Coaches look at the student's grades, as well as their GPA in high school. I will explain that in college, student athletes have a specific GPA that they have to have to participate in the sport, as well as a reputation as a member of that team to uphold. So if Caleb were able to receive a football scholarship, he would have to maintain a certain GPA, as well as a reputation as a student athlete at that school. I would make sure to mention the fact that most college coaches do not want their athletes sleeping in class, which is becoming a reoccurrence for Caleb (mentioning that most coaches actually give consequences for these types of behavior-such as running stadiums instead of participating in regular practice). I would mention that if their main concerns are his sports participation and eligibility, that his academics and behavior in class all tie together. If he is showing good behaviors in class (not sleeping) and is doing well in his academics, he will have a better and more successful chance of receiving a football scholarship. |

| Comments: I agree with this solution because this person is willing to take the time out to meet with Caleb's parents. They also can personally relate to what Caleb is going through and can walk them through the entire process. They can provide information to them about what college coaches are looking for and the GPA that Caleb is required to maintain and will be required to maintain in college. |
