I understand the protect our children as there are a number of Whacko parents out there that are trying to live vicariously through their children. However, we state that KSHSAA is trying to protect our students by instead of settling for the "middle balance" aim higher. But if we were to raise eligibilty grade standards then people would cry foul too saying we are being unfair by making trying to eliminate "certain athletes"

I've been at tournaments and duals, and it amazes me that some of our "student" athletes can't even do simple math or communication skills without having a calculator or mumbling. Lets not only change the standards of where and when you can compete somewhere, but also how important your school work and success in the classroom has to be in order to get you there!
