kid not eligible due to grades

I'm not sure he has anything to appeal. If his mother refused to address his learning problem until now, why is it the school's responsibility? Maybe the school addressed it with the mom and she looked the other way.

Like others have said. Good for the kid turning things around now. He has plenty of time to establish himself in baseball. Especially with summer and fall teams playing such a large part of the recruiting game.

Many kids don't break onto the HS seen until junior year. Their was a kid in our area who didn't pitch until his junior year and wound up the 44th (approx) pick in the draft a couple of years ago. (he decided to go to college)

It's not about right or wrong. I didn't agree with your opinion, that's all. Not attempting to judge right or wrong. It's all good..Different slants on topics make for better reading and sometimes we may learn something from different POVs.

There have been times when I've changed my opinion based on something I may not have agreed on but somebody brought up an issue in a way I might not have looked at before.

"That is not a good idea" tells me your are telling me I am wrong

Did I say your were wrong in your opinion?


OH well

If the kid has a learning disability the mother should request an IEP. Once an IEP is in place the school will be able to make exceptions for his grades. For example if he fails a test he can retake it. The key is to make sure ALL his teachers attend the IEP. Good Luck!!!

Thank you everyone for your input. The mom while not opposed to appealing anything, is not up to doing it herself. The high school coach did go to the athletic board to request he be made eligible due to the circumstances. Unfortunately he was not able to get it done. Tryouts are tomorrow so I guess the kid is out of luck.
