@NEPatsGirl I understand that you’re daughters school is that way, but every school is different. A lot of the time it depends on the teachers, so I don’t think your assumption that I have a problem with time management is warranted when the opposite is true. As to your point about sports being a choice, I think that schools should be more understanding of the fact that students pursue interests outside of school. Especially considering the competitive nature of college admissions- students need to have an academically rigorous course load and pursue numerous sports and extracurriculars.
