Ok- my intruder (Greyson) was great. My students were surprised- and complaining ‘that’s not right’- so I had to remind them a murder isn’t planned for an eye witness..it just happens. They will be turning in sketches and info on him on Monday. Today is homecoming so our school is a little crazy right now. I’m a little worn out- I’ve had a parent come up to me right after our last two volleyball games and just lecture me about some complaint or another- one parent it was about her daughter’s playing time, and last night it was because I let them out of practice early to go to a meeting….its been a little frustrating- and I was tired, stressed and that was the last straw last night- I had to make a quick exit outdoors as the tears flooded out. My girls have lost only one game this entire season- and I was up on this great feeling that I’d gotten all 13 girls into each of the three matches- and all with about equal playing time- and we were still able to win all three games…then to just still have complaints. Its very trying. I need a weekend! Well the bell is about to ring- and I need to mark tardies. Everyone have a great Friday!

Stupid parents suck. They are lucky to have you whether they know it or not.
That's why you're the coach and they are the parent.
You should keep a file of the nice notes/comments you get. When these unfair things happen, pull out the file and get the good feelings back.
Dumb parents.
Glad things worked out with the intruder. I noticed people were thinking it was weird when I came and asked to use the dishwasher.
Hmm. Wasn't there like a "good ol' days" where parents had to schedule a conference to meet with a teacher? Back when parents weren't simply venting, and instructors weren't getting caught off-guard? I don't remember my folks harassing the coach. Sure they didn't go to the meets, but if they were to attend one, it might have been more difficult for harassment to occur.
