Also his behavior antagonizes the other younger members to goof off too.
With the time commitment we are aloud to have one other competing interest such as a sport during the 6 weeks. We are also required to go twice during the week and every Saturday for those 6 weeks-its really not that long. |
That was bad wording on my part. Cut policies for behaviour and things of that nature are needed. However, cut because you have other things you do is just crazy. We have many students on our team who work, play sports and do this. If the kid is willing to work hard, they should not be punished.
