Just because you are a music teacher doesnt mean your class is any less important then any other. That coach needs to realize that his student is also yours- and if he expects the child to work, you also expect him to work. I dont think it should be an easy A class- but maybe a class geared towards music throughout history, or a focus on a type of music. Maybe not so much as performing? I remember in higschool there were people in choir for an easy A and it made me mad because i cared about it.

I don't think athletes should get special treatment just to get an "easy" A. If they are required to get an arts credit, it is because it is expected of them to have some knowledge of the arts. Do music teachers go and ask coaches to give music students passing grades in gym?? Or ask them to give them a starting position on the field?? I feel that it is simply rediculous for a coach to even ask a teacher to pass a student who doesn't deserve to pass just because they're an athlete.
