Hi. Just curious as to what the policy is in your gym regarding missing practice for schoolwork. I am not talking about on a regular basis, but rather maybe once or twice a month. My daughter is in 8th grade and is a level 9. The school workload is tremendous. She manages her time very well. Ever minute not in the gym, including recess and occasionally phys ed period, is dedicated to schoolwork as well as her hours at home. Sometimes it is just not enough. Many of the high school girls experience the same thing. In our gym taking anytime off is greeted with a sarcastic comment and the girls that blow off school (and the ones that don't have the best grades) are the ones that don't get any flack. When did sports trump the importance of school? Education will always come first in our household. We don't demand all A's just that our kids do their best and sometimes they need more time. Just curious if others have the same unreasonable issue.
