Would THIS face lie?

It depends! Is he really struggling and failing tests or is he blowing off school all together??!! If he is really making an effort but failing I would try to find him help either via the teachers or private tutors. If this is the case I would let him play as sports are a great venue for kids who have difficulty in school to keep their self esteem intact. At least they feel like they are good at something. If he is blowing school off and doesn't care he should be off the team!! Good luck!

It's a different time. I was a voracious reader because we grew up in the sticks and we didn't have 200 TV channels and video games. A book was an escape from the tedium of farm life.
Boy will read if I make him but that is about it.

So, what did you end up doing?

I made him sit out the first series tonight but then he went in and made 5 tackles, 2 unassisted and stripped the ball from the QB.
He was an animal. I am going to chew his ass before the game Saturday just to motivate him.
Go Boy!!
With my boys, if they do bad in school, I don't punish them with football, but make them do more with schoolwork,etc. However, in high school it has changed a bit with one. The coach/school itself punishes them.

Sad, isn't it?
I used to read 5 novels a week until I discovered somd.com. and the internet.
My 11 year old doesn't read for pleasure, but he does for knowledge and will tear through a book taking it all in. Then it's all video games. He also gets National Geographic. I used to read that to look at the naked pictures. Maybe he does the same.
The 18 year old still reads for pleasure. I guess she saw me doing it all of the time, or it might be genetic. Who knows.
The sports and school thing is still the issue. What are you going to do, dad?

We had a Dad to Boy lecture. I made him sit out the first part of the scrimmage, helmet off. TV after school is off limits until next week. He has to read 2 books and do 2 book reports instead of 1, this month. He blows another test he will sit out practice.
He is good he just forgot to be afraid of me and let it slide.

I coach baseball and if a parent tells me that little Johnny is not doing well in school I tell Mom and Dad to bring him, along with his school work to practice and I have him sit on the bench and do his school work while everyone else is out on the feild. This works wounders!!!
