[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 571155, member: 1550"] SusieStar and DDD have it nailed it 100% in my opinion. If it's the athletic department OF THE STATE that makes these rules, it's not up to the school. The Wisconsin High School Athletic Association (WIAA) says that if you are failing a grade, even if you have special needs, you can not play until you are passing. Jumper had to sit out a game once in her freshman year when she was really struggling to get used to high school and her 504 was not in place yet and she was failing history. It wasn't up to the school...they would have WANTED her to play. But the school got a notice from the WIAA saying she had to sit out so she did. I called them and they were firm, stating that there are no exceptions to this rule. I'm pretty sure the rules are made by the state athletic associations. Breaking the law in any way is subject to all sorts of punishments. I don't mind it. Jumper really watches herself. She even pulled her grades way up (and she still does struggle). But she wants to play in every single basketball, softball and volleyball game. That means a clean record. She has seen teammates disciplined and, aside from the one incident, she has never had this happen to her. Our quarterback was thrown off the team when he was caught smoking pot. It wasn't in school either. That's just the way it is. in my opinion an attorney is a waste of time. Lots of money and little chance of winning. The kids sign the rules. Suzir, this is just how it is in the US, whether you or I think it's fair or not. And all athletes know this when they are picked for a team. If you don't want to follow the rules, you don't sign and you don't play. [/QUOTE]
