At ends
I know I stated that I was done blogging until the fall, but this issue cannot go without writing. There’s a player on my team that comes from a family of issues. This is what I would love to say to the parent, yet I can’t.
“You drive around this city in a mini-van with a missing window. You once lived in a place that my best fried owned, so I know you live like a pig. It’s not my fault that your husband is in jail. The only child in your family who is not mentally challenged is your son on my team. In fact, he’s the only normal one in your entire family. THIS is the reason why he has a horrible attitude. It's not my fault! Can you please take some responsibility for your situation! I do not yell at him, I correct him, and I plan to do so. He may be mad at me, but I’m the only father figure he has. He’ll get over it.”
F***ing parents…
F***ing parents…
F***ing parents…
F***ing parents…
F***ing parents…
F***ing parents…
I’m just about ready to make this my last year. This is bullshit. I just can’t stand to be this close and personal to these poor kids anymore. I try to help them, yet the parents make excuses for their actions, excepting no responsibility what so ever. My nerves are shot!

rarely can you reach the parents, i have been trying for quite a while and in many ways, including the web. there are a few you can reach, and perhaps gently asking her help may work. odds are long on that matt, and you know it. you can just continue to be an example for her kid, it's better than pointing out what is wrong in his house, and more effective. bring him more under your wing if you can, other than that, i am tapped out.
I know what you say as true, and know it all along. I just had high hopes for this kid. I knew his situation going into this year and wanted to make a difference. He has absolutely not an ounce of respect for others. I thought coming down harder on his would make him stronger, yet it has only pushed him back. A feeling of failure hovers over me.
I plan to try another approach with him, that is, if he doesn’t quit.
