Good morning,
I a few moments ago I was thinking how lovely this day is. It is nice and cool outside, the birds are singing, cats are following me to the bus stop.. Yes, I walk my daughter to the bus stop in the mornings and I just arrived back home, poured myself some coffee and sat down and logged into facebook where I see this post.. "High School Football Coach’s Radical Punishment for Entire Team Gets Surprise Reaction From Parents". Right away it got my attention..
I want to talk about this for a few.. "(e.g., bad attitudes toward teachers, skipping classes, failing grades, and a serious allegation of cyberbullying)" ... First off.. I want to say that I am in high respects for coach Matt Labrum, head football coach at Union High School in Roosevelt, Utah, ( and his fellow coaches ). I hope if this is going on in other schools that other coaches follow suite.
I do not know the coaches, I do not know the team members, in fact I do not know anyone that even lives in the town so for me this isn't as personal as those who live there. But, bullying is something that is personal for a lot of people. It is something that needs to be addressed. It happens a lot, more than some parents know about.
I think Mr. Labrum deserves coach of the year. No only did he disapprove the football players disrespecting his fellow co-workers, the teachers. He also disapproved the disrespect of other students, ( that were being bullied ) and did something to correct the issue. He believes in this team as a whole.
Way to go coach.... and for the team members that were not causing the issues with your team mates,... Respect goes out to you as well..
Hope you all have a peaceful day..
