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.

There should not be an ensemble for students who need an easy arts credit. That isn't fair to the students who devote so much time, energy and caring in what they do. Music should not be seen as some blow off thing that can get you an easy A. Also, if a student doesn't get a passing grade, than it shouldn't be changed. Again, it's not fair to the students who try so hard and don't get good grades. Just because you play a sport, it doesn't mean that you are better than anyone else.
