Brings up memories. The RUHS VP insisted 3.0 was the "standard", and he sometimes threatened to kick off the team those that didn't measure up. Then a mentor happened to be at the school meeting where the MCHS teacher applied for funds for our team. The description said the team was open to all kids regardless of GPA. I was happy to use that description instead.
We wondered why on other teams a 2.0 was the standard for whether kids could miss school and go to games, but the VP was trying to say 3.0. A more reasonable administrator agreed, it's 2.0 .
For the VP, I don't think it was so much discrimination as much as that if the kids all had 3.0 then no teachers could argue with him about the time the kids were spending in robotics.
