Can't tell if you are being serious or not. 

 

If you are, please do not start players based on a ranking of their grades.  

That might be the craziest thing I've ever heard.  As long as they are eligible, play the best players.  It is okay to punish if you get reports they are skipping class or being disrespectful, etc.,..

But to rank who starts and plays by grades is a disaster waiting to happen and really makes no sense.  

I liked the example provided before.  A teacher doesn't take into account baseball stats when grading a test, so why are you evaluating students academic skill when giving out playing time? 

Don't ruin kids careers or their high school experience for some experiment that you think in some way makes sense. 

I understand that as a player first, student second that can be frustrating.  You could try to the best of your ability and still not succeed academically.  Sports could be all you want out of school.  If I had a kid who absolutely loved baseball I'd take that into consideration.
