4. If I do poorly, I have to stay after school for tutoring, which means more fishing.
5. If after all the extra tutoring fishing time, if I flunk outright, I have to take the class over next year, and get to fish during school time again. If I pass, its over.
6. Ergo, take it, and fish poorly to get to fish more this year and next.
7. Repeat as necessary to avoid gym class.

Of course, I always was an over-thinking under achiever!
[FONT=Calibri]Just to be sure we’re on the same page here…just because “bass fishing” is being added as a sport does not mean it will be taught as a class during the school day. It will be an after school activity.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]KHSAA has strict guidelines in regards to student-athletes called Minimum Academic Requirements (Bylaw 5 - [/FONT][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#800080]http://www.khsaa.org/handbook/bylaws/bylaw5.pdf[/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Calibri]). The vast majority of schools in our Commonwealth have adopted even stricter academic requirements in which students have to achieve and maintain in order to participate in athletics. [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]In regards to insurance for the students – all students are offered what’s called Scholastic Insurance at a minimal price – I want to say it’s $8.00 for the entire school year but don’t quote me on that. The challenge will be the boat issue. [/FONT]
