No there is no pay ohone available, nor would he be allowed to break practice to make a call. His schoolwork is not low enough to be pulled from sports, but it is always more iportant that sports and Adam has been sat during a game by me and by previous coaches for any problems that may have occured as a result of grades. He informed the coach before practice that he needed to leave at 6pm.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632457245324216299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062608.post-1116599981893272032005-05-20T07:39:00.000-07:002005-05-20T07:39:00.000-07:00Wasn't Kat just saying something about the outside...Wasn't Kat just saying something about the outside world coming in. Wow, you read a blog and you think you know the answer and should share. Here is a hint "anonymous": you shouldn't!!<BR/><BR/>I love the assumption that every kid has a cell phone (while probably true still a pretty big assumption). I also love this line "Yes his school work should be more important, but if that is the case then why is he playing baseball." So if the parent thinks that school work is important than a kid should not be doing anything else. Kids need balance in their lives and parents are there to help them.<BR/><BR/>Other people are such a pain in the ass.EZ Travelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948115216958990897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062608.post-1116525163741239792005-05-19T10:52:00.000-07:002005-05-19T10:52:00.000-07:00In my opinion you are all wrong.

Yes his school work should be more important, but if that is the case then why is he playing baseball. He is getting all these bad grades, yet you continue to let him play ball. But that is just my opinion. He should of called you asked you what he should do then make a rational decision. Or at least TELL THE COACH what was going on. And maybe have you talk to the coach. But by choosing to ignore his coach he should have to suffer the consequences. And by you taking care of his problems with not get him anywhere. He needs to be taught what is right and what is wrong. No matter what the circustances may be his coach is in charge. Maybe his coach isn't the best coach in the world but he is in charge. You would feel the same way if you were in charge. Walking off and deciding that your word is better then the coaches in completly wrong. He is 14 years old he is old enough to know that he should call you so that either you can choose what he does or have you talk to the coach about it. Taking care of his problems will get him nowhere. <BR/><BR/>In all respect to you and your son, I hope all gets better with this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062608.post-1116252952627810202005-05-16T07:15:00.000-07:002005-05-16T07:15:00.000-07:00Wow!!

I think you handled it well, especially acknowledging that Adam isn't a completely innocent, put-upon 14-year old boy.EZ Travelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948115216958990897noreply@blogger.com
