I read this story in the newspaper last night and again this morning on the internet. I am not sure how I feel yet. I am wondering what other people think. Since I am not a parent, I do not have that "set of eyes." But I do think I have the "set of eyes" that comes with an education degree. As an educator I am excited that a parent is taking an active role in their child's life. Yet I am wondering if other options were tried or if other options should be tried.

The 14-year-old freshman already has been forced by her parents to give up basketball and track because of slipping grades, and said she hopes to improve in school so she can play next year.
