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.

Jessalyns point is a very important one. That student is is your and every other teacher that has that student in class. What a lot of sports programs dont understand is that sports should be about a students ability to excell. In some sports what is important could be an individual excellence; however, in many team sports excellence can only be acheived by physical AND mental ability. When sports are affiliated with schools, it also becomes about how well the player can excell as a player AND a student. As a coach of a school affiliated sport, this would be one of the first things I would address, and if there were ever problems with acertain student, it is not the music teacher or the english teachers respincibility to cover up a students inability to balance schoolwork and sports.
