  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!)
A student can not play sports in high school or college unless they perform as a student first. As a teacher I would inform the parents that this student is a STUDENT-athlete, not only an athlete. I would inform them that I will not be giving him any special treatment and that he will have to fight to play sports.

Comments: I'm not sure if there is much of a solution stated here. Pointing out the obvious without offering up a solution or working with the parents and student on one will not have a positive outcome. Sounds more like preaching instead of helping.
