Yes your right $$$ is always motivation but some kids can study there a** off and still have trouble passing. Your also right about no pas no play being around a long time. Does that make it right? Slavery was around a long time to did that make it right? I have a son who has dyslexia he goes after school for help he also stays up to 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning doing homework. Then he gets told he can't play football a game he loves or show at the fair something else he loves to do. Then people say no pass no play is a good thing that's because they don't have to see the disappoint on there child's face. Sounds more like discrimination against those that have a hard time with school and grades.
