The Last Person.....

[terryl965]

Terry, In my not so humble opinion, no adult should ever swear at a child or call them worthless. I am sitting here trying to find a nice way of putting what an absolute low life son of a ***** I think that ****ing ******* is.

Did I do a good job?

What are you going to do?

Lisa I also filed the complaint with the association and I'm waiting on there answer, matbe I should have mention I'm one of the assistance coached so I'm really pissed off.
Thanks
Terry

I would have to go with Lisa on this one - that type of behavior would be unacceptable (in my opinion, anyway) in the coaches of professional players. For someone who is coaching kids of that age, I consider it criminal. Showing he is disappointed that they lost would be one thing, but telling kids that age they are worthless is just wrong. Compared to that, I consider the profanity a lesser offense in many ways, depending on what was said and who it was aimed at - still wrong, but if it was a frustrated outburst not aimed at a particular child or group of children, I'd rather have the coach yell profanity than tell a child s/he is worthless.

Thanks Kacey, I believe telling the kids they are wprthless is more damaging than a few swear words, I know some will not agree with what I just said but most kids have heard a swear words but I doubt most of them have been told they are worthless.
Thanks
Tery

Any time, Terry. The learning disabled kids I teach have (some of them) been told they were worthless/stupid/lazy/etc. for so many years that some of them are starting to believe it... I spend most of my time trying to convince them otherwise so I can get them to the point where they can learn something instead of refusing because they've been so indoctrinated into believing they can't.

That is criminal. It truly is. Those children are very lucky to have you on their side Kacey

What Karen said.

Evening, y'all. Or should I say early morning? Either way, I was conked out on my sofa for the past couple hours, and need to drag myself to bed. I'm beat...

I cant speak for everyone. Me, I'm not at work.

And why aren't you at work, young lady? Handing in a two weeks' notice does not mean you don't show up at all.

Anywho...I'm turning in. Night y'all...

Good Night!

 

[Drac]

Anyone about???

 

[Drac]

Guess not.....Good night MT..Keeping the city safe while you sleep...

 

[Jonathan Randall]

Anyone about???

Back up now. Long day - I overslept massively and just finished an oil painting.

 

[Hand Sword]

Cool! Of what?

 

[Jonathan Randall]

Cool! Of what?

Desert rock formation and blue sky. Easy and lots of fun. I can't believe I slept until three in the afternoon, though.

 

[Hand Sword]

That's what happens when you're up during these hours. I always wanted to learn to paint. I guess watching that guy do it on tv back in the 80's made it look so easy.

We can tell where you live because you listed it in your profile, Sterre.

I have a twelve year old daughter too and would be very upset with her if she was pming people I was not familiar with and exchanging personal information with them. In this day and age it really isn't a good idea to do this. Too many bad things happen to kids who share things on the internet.

You never did answer my question. Are your parent's aware that you do this?

Great advice Lisa.

BTW, Kenposterr, I like and trust Drac myself - but this is the Internet and the only way to truly know someone is to be around them physically for a long period of time and under a variety of circumstances. I think you should answere Lisa's question.
