Those parents and moms have legitimate concerns; somewhat. While organized sports are great remedies for alternatives to teen mischief, the parents should look in the mirror to find solutions to their dilemma. The effort and energy that they put to into "pleading" with you to preserve a place on the team, should have been used to help their children to accept life's disappointments; because we ALL know that disappointments are apart of life, and how one deals with such disappointments is what will determines plot in such life , NOT being made popular in the school setting by being guaranteed a place on the team. Intramural play, recreational play, serving as a statistician, student manager ect. are all very viable options to actually being on the team. I think you missed an opportunity to really tackle a very troubling issue with our society. What actually did you say to these parents? https://my.mhsaa.com/News/Blog-From-the-Director/ID/2316/Preserving-A-Place#Comments
