High School band director, Doyle McElroy believes proponents
McElroy. The six weeks period is of HB 72 could compromise.
Sealy public school leaders are case of subject failure, than a six

response to the “no pass, no one in its context and effective,
play” rule after a year since HB but too extended.

that the six weeks penalty is too the rule. He thinks it is a little
harsh and too long, and all favor severe, making it difficult to keep

life situation or other frustrating ■
circumstance, which divert their J
attention and interest in studies.
“We should encourage extra- •
curricular activities because they
are a part of the education
system. The no pass, no play rule
discourages that because if
students fail one subject, they are
out for six weeks and it is difficult
to make up a grade for such a
long duration. The rule has
helped give students more of an
incentive to strive harder, but
others suffer because of their
limited ability. Harwell said there
are fewer students signing up for
the more difficult and advanced
courses because of a fear of
failure; they choose the easier
courses instead.
The rule causes students to
drop out rather than encourage
them to participate in activities,
said Coach T. J. Mills, head of
the local school's athletic
department. On two occasions
this year a student has taken
easier subjects in order to pass to
be eligible for participation in
extracurricular activities, he
pointed out.
“We should be encouraging
more difficult classes for students
to reach their fullest potential,
but due to the harshness of the
rule, kids are playing it safe with
easier subjects, sometimes con-
trary to parents’ wishes" he said.
He feels the rule is not working,
actually. He wants to see students
pass, but prefers a shorter
suspension period, when a stu-
dent can buckle down and bring
up his or her grades.
Some students do not come out
for extracurricular activities
because they are afraid of the
failure stigma, contends the
coach. Extracurricular activities
should be a motivational tool for
academics, a part of the
educational process, and many
students are excluded due to the
no pass, no play rule, Mills
declared.
Junior high school principal,
Aubrey E. Stuessel, agrees with
most of the ruling, but believes it
is too long a penalty and favors
three weeks instead. He, like
other dpeartment heads, agrees
the ruling has merit, but the lon-
gevity of penalty is too extreme.
“Our junior high seasons don’t
last more than six weeks or two
months, and a student who fails
does not have a chance to come
back into an extracurricular ac-
tivity" he said.
h has caused students to study
harder and bring up their grades.
The junior high department is a
trahsition between elementary
school, where there are no
sports or extra activities, to senior
full potential. He said most I
teachers seem to respond with the . GOKE 6 pack con*
same feeling in regard to the rule. |
