I think that I probably wouldn't be very happy at first, but I would eventually get used to the idea. If my child met the requirements to play, I would tell him to help the other kids that are struggling to get good grades. If that doesn't work, maybe those kids shouldn't be a team if they don't want to do their school work.
We are a group of students assigned to make a blog for the book we are reading, Coach Carter.
Here's a little backround on the story:
When former Richmond High School basketball legend Ken Carter agrees to take over his alma mater's floundering team, he has the players sign a contract that demands good grades, perfect class attendance, and suits on game days. With Coach Carter at the helm, the Oilers' record soon stands at 12 and 0. But when the coach learns that some members of his team are cutting class and failing academically, he locks them out of the gym, incurring the wrath of the players, the school, and the community. Coach Carter's determination to adhere to his convictions puts his philosophy and his players' trust to the ultimate test.
In each posting you will see:
* A summary of the chapters read
* A question you will be able to comment on, and
* A summay of each meeting
We hope you enjoy the journey we take you on and continue to join us each week for new updates on the book.

As a group we said that we would feel mad. But we also said that we would feel bad for them.
