Good call coach. We have three opportunities to make practice each week and making two is the goal. My son has asked to stay home to do homework on a few occasions this year. He takes a lot of pride in his grades and has done very well in school. I tell him to get on his homework right when he gets home from school when we plan on going to practice. Sometimes, the workload is just too much, so we stay home. How our kids perform in the classroom is very important, and I am glad that Garrett realizes that.
