I am a college graduate and my son quite frankly barely can make the high school team let alone make it to the next level. He will be just fine though because unlike you he has the ability to be a critical thinker and is quite intelligent. The reason I have a problem is that once again this is a high school baseball forum. DCHeat asked what this has to do with baseball and you attacked him and assumed that he was ignorant to the fact that academics are important. I am just here to let you know that DCheat is right, this site should be for baseball talk. Why come here and talk about academics or football or basketball or hockey or quidditch, quite frankly I don't care about any of that because I came to a baseball web site and assumed everyone in this community also came here for the same reason. You claimed that academics has everything to do with baseball can you tell me one way someones grades can affect their ability to play baseball. You will probably talk about needing the necessary GPA to play high school sports but that has no baring on someone's ability to play a game. There is always AAU ball and other outlets let baseball be baseball. Don't get it confused with anything else. The fact that people can't separate one thing from another is just a contributing factor to our society with misplaced priorities and unneeded stress.
