No Pass/No Play Rule
The No Pass/No Play Rule is Unfair!
Although the no pass/no play rule has the best of intentions, many educators state that few, if any, students have benefited from this unjust rule. It takes away a source of achievement and self-esteem, which only leads to increasing anger, frustration, and hopelessness.
The academic requirement for the no pass/no play rule states that if a student receives a grade below 70 in any academic class at the end of the grading period may not participate in any extracurricular activities for at least three school weeks. But even if a student fails academically or drops out of school, they should at least have hope that they are good at something. People DO make a living in music, art, athletics, and many skills
