In every high school there's that talk of students with advantages. Most of the time it's the students who play sports that have the advantages. Though coaches are teachers will not admit the advantages it is very clear that athletes control the school. These advantages are very obvious from non-athletic student's points of view. The advantages are an athlete's schoolwork, the way the athletes are treated, and the athlete's status in the community.

Those few things bring many advantages towards athletes in doing their schoolwork, but also disadvantages to regular students in their schoolwork. Some advantages for athletes consist of being able to turn work in late. Many times I have noticed athletes would put all the blame of not doing homework on practicing late or on a late game the night before. Another advantage is receiving more help on work than other students. Many times teachers tends to help out the athletes more to make sure that the athlete will pass his/her class. There are teachers that do not care if you play sports but, the ones that do care will try not to be the one to fail an athlete and not allow the athlete to play. The advantage that is the best one for the athlete is be able to have a better chance at getting a scholarship. The athletes will get recognized by there performances on and off the field epically in the classroom which will help them when being scouted. The disadvantages for the regular students is when it comes to school work there school work has to be turned in on time or is considered late. That alone frustrates students when there work has to be turned in and they see an athlete turn his/her work in late. Not getting equal amount of help is a disadvantage that hurts the students when it comes to schoolwork. Instead of getting equal attention...
