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!) Hello, this is a great question. I propose that you go for the throat on this one. If they do not see his schooling as a problem you need to team up with the coach and restrict the child at practice until homework is either completed or worked on. One way of doing this that worked well in my school would be to have the team do it as a group. In the team I saw the coach had JV practice first, while they practiced Varsity did homework, then when Varsity started JV had to do homework, then the two would do some things together. This could be a proposal for the coach. He or she could also do infield then outfield. If this does not work show the child that in order to move on in life playing baseball he would have to go play college ball where a minimum gpa is required to get in and then to continue playing. |
