Then at the minimum, two mothers go talk with the athletics director about those concerns.

The coach may have said that the school would do away with the program just to keep the girls and their mothers from complaining....she's trying to secure her job here also.

I sure wouldn't sit by and let her ruin what should be a fun learning experience for these girls. I personally would call her bluff and talk with the director.

That's a really good idea. Maybe she doesn't understand the power of parental concern.

As a teacher, no matter how annoying some parents could be, 99.5% of the time, I really appreciated those that gave a damn about their kids. These are the parents who you can form a team with to help their child in school.

I'm sorry you and your daughter are having to go through this Diana. I agree that the punishment definitely seems unfair and I think it's worth bringing up, to the coach or the athletic director or whoever will listen. Those girls don't deserve to be treated like that!

Good luck and I hope this situation improves!

Thanks for all of your input. Right now the girls aren't practicing so I'm taking a "wait and see how things go" approach. I really don't want to be a troublemaker so I'm trying not to stir up trouble when there's not any. When the girls start practicing again we'll see how things go. I'm not afraid of talking to the principal or the activities director if the need arises.

I found some rules for being a good coach on the internet. I gave her a copy of them when we talked and I had highlighted several of the rules and told her that they were areas that she needed to improve in. Hopefully she'll work on them. We'll see!

If you had 10 girls on a team and 4-5 of the mothers came and talked to you about problems wouldn't you take notice?

I wouldn't think she would take notice. You did that in a very nice way. Hopefully things will improve when practice starts again.

It sounds like you've covered all the bases. I agree with you - wait and see.
