Good question. I'm honestly not sure, as it never happened. We used to tell them playing sports and being added to our car insurance was dependent on a good report card, so perhaps it acted as an impetus to do well. Would we have made them give up baseball/football/hockey/track etc if they didn't do well? I doubt it, but they always went to schools where failing a class made you ineligible to play anyway.
The only son we dealt with who had less than exceptional grades was our middle boy, who has a learning disability. We cheered his Bs as loud as the As of his brothers, we just didn't pay for them.
