NKY First it will make A better athlete playing and practicing aganst A better kid. But the best reason I know is simply because A parent feels it is best for any reason. I know many kids that didn't play any sport that were held back, that means that A kid will be punished just because he is an athlete. NO ONE WOULD SAY ONE WORD IF A STUDENT WAS HELD BACK SO HE COULD BLOW THE TUBA ONE MORE YEAR SO HE MAY BE GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE THE COLLEGE PHILHARMONIC.
