So I'm on my bus route and AD text me saying I have a parent that wants to meet with me our AD and HS principal at 8:30 in the morning. Well said parent called AD saying I singled his son out when I meet with team yesterday Telling the team that 5 guys decided not to play football anymore and I told them it didn't bother me that they were not playing but I felt like they are letting this team and school down. I told them only 1 of the 5 had enough guts to tell me he wasn't playing. Said parent thinks I singled out his son and called him gutless for not coming and telling me he wasn't playing. Sorry for the long rant. This is how I get to start my Friday off in the morning.

And you didn't single the kid out by name. Gutless kid and parents.

That's ridiculous. Tell us how that meeting goes. I am curious to know if your AD and HS principal have a spine.

I seriously can't believe that the principal and/or AD didn't laugh at them when they asked for a meeting. I'm sure you told the kids at the beginning of the season if they weren't gonna play any more to come and tell your coaches personally. Be a man about the deal.

You would think but said parent has a brother on school board. Had this happen last year but the kids dad was the president of the school board. No meeting and he is coming back out this year and kid has real talent. We have a good school board or at least I think so...they meet tonight and I maybe jobless tomorrow...lol

Sorry for the long rant. This is how I get to start my Friday off in the morning. We also have the common "chain of command" practice in place for parent meetings. This is the path parents should take and it starts with a meeting with the coach. One problem........when the parent ignores this procedure and requests a meeting with AD, Principal or Superintendent, we reluctantly meet with the parent only if the coach is present.
Best of luck with the meeting. Usually, this type of meeting results in showing that the coach has done everything the "right" way from the start. Parents look like whiners.
