If a student fell behind in school due to me encouraging them to do a sport I would encourage them to come talk to me before or after school or even during class when we have time to see how they can do both. If it was due to the student not trying I would get them to work hard in class and show them that they can do both a sport and class.

I would encourage my students to get involved in sports because as said most students do better in school if involved in a sport. I don't think I would make this a priority or really push for my students to do a sport but I would update them on sports tryouts and how fun it would be but if a student doesn't want to be involved I would not force it on them.

# data[].attributes.body
I  would ask the student what sport they are involved in and how much they are practicing. Most likely other students are involved in this sport as well, which means that they could ask those students how they handle getting all of their school work done while participating in the sport. I would ask them if they needed help before or after school to get their work done.

I would make sure that they understand that they need to prioritize what is more important and I can help them catch up before and after school but they need to give effort.

If I encouraged a student to get involved and they began to fall behind, I would offer to help them before and after school to make sure they can succeed in both aspects. By giving them this option I would hope to meet with them to answer questions during a unit or before an assessment.

As teacher, I first would see if it really was the sport that was making them fall behind. If it was, I would reach out to the student and see if they wanted extra help. However, if this didn't work I would explain that school needs to come first and they need to take a break from their sport to get back on track with school. Before they return to sports, I would give them time management tools to better organize their time.

I would bring it to their attention that their grade began to drop when they got involved in sports. I would encourage them to stay involved in the sport, but I would also put a stronger emphasis on the school work. I would also ask the student if their is anything they need from me as a teacher. Many teachers will tell students if they need extra time on an assignment to just communicate with them and they will extend the assignment. I don't think I would have a problem extending an assignment every once in a while, but if it became a reoccurring thing, I would have another conversation with that student.

If a student got involved in a sport after I encouraged them, it means they listened to what I had to say. Therefore if I started to become concerned about their academic performance, I would just sit down and talk to them. They could be falling behind for some other reason such as just not understanding the material, it may not be the sports fault. If it is because of the sport I would talk to them about how they are managing their time and if they just need some strategies to not procrastinate or if they really just do not have time for the sport. If they just do not have time, I would probably also get their coach involved so we could all work on a solution to see if both the sport and academics could be balanced.

I would definitely talk to them, and really get to the bottom of why they are falling behind in school. Is it truly because of the sport? Or is there something deeper going on, possibly that they're just not yet good at time management. If that is the case then I will see if they will work with me on developing a system so that they can learn to get their school work done efficiently and effectively, while still being involved in a sport. I would help them develop strategies so that they no longer fall behind, and I would also just let them know I am there to support them if they need any extra help in figuring out a way to balance both sports and academics.

I do think that it is necessary to encourage kids to do sports, especially in middle school. It is an important time in figuring out what they're interested in and staying healthy, and also in making friends and developing teamwork skills. Obviously, if a student isn't interested in playing sports, then I wouldn't force them or anything. But I definitely think that encouraging them to try out a sport is important for a variety of reasons.

# data[].attributes.body
I would explain how school always comes first. If they are falling behind offer help with teaching them good time management. If they are falling behind in your class tell them to meet with you in the morning or during lunch. It is important to keep them involved in activities they enjoy to keep them happy and active.

As a middle school teacher I would encourage my students to get involved with sports as soon as they can. As someone who played sports in elementary school I find it very beneficial to a student's success. I think finding new friends through athletics, learning how to work with a team, and finding something you can be passionate about are some of the best things that sports provide students.

I would encourage my students to participate in sports. In your lesson, you talked about the benefits of playing sports. I know that sports don't appeal to every student, but the benefits are great. However, I would still emphasize how grades should come before sports. One skill that also comes from playing sports in middle school and being involved outside of school is time management. It is important to be able to do things you enjoy as well as balancing your school work. Playing a sport gives students the chance to learn how to manage their time at a younger age.

I would encourage my middle school students to play sports because it is important that they stay active and fit. It is also important that they socialize and meet new people. When students are active, it helps them within the classroom. Therefore, it is not only important for them physically and socially but it will also benefit them within the classroom.

I would encourage my students to participate in sports because of the numerous benefits. Sports can help students academically, socially, and physically. While I would encourage all students to participate, I wouldn't force or berate students into doing a sport if they were really against it. But I would do my best to explain to students how beneficially it could be.

Talk to them about improving their time management skills and help them get back on track with their academic responsibilities.

As a middle school teacher I would definitely encourage my students to play sports. Playing sports helps students learn how to work as a team and manage their time. I think that those skills are very important and will help my students grow in and out of the classroom. All students should stay active and healthy at all ages.

As a middle school teacher I would encourage students to get involved in sports at the school. There are many health benefits to middle school students getting active and exercising every day that a sport would provide. On top of that you can learn valuable life skills from working on a team such as leadership, team work and communication skills. Personally I think these skills are more important than just the health benefits, because the students do have gym, so if a student was just really not interested in sports, I would still encourage them to join some after school club or activity.

Yes I would encourage them to participate. In your presentation you talked about how much they benefit them. It also teaches them things that are possibly more valuable than what they learn in class. Understanding teamwork and responsibility is a very important lesson to learn

# data[].attributes.body
I would encourage students to participate in sports for a few reasons. One being that it is a good way to make more friends and improve social skills. Another being that it gives students a chance to form interests that they can continue in high school. Lastly, it would be a great way for students to maintain a healthy life style and stay active.
