Case: Dealing with coaches
I work at a school where sports are emphasized in a major way. Students leave early for games on a fairly regular basis, and to make up for this, Tuesday is a make-up day for student athletes. It is unofficial and not enforced by the administration but most teachers stay late this day to allow students to make up work they may have missed. The set-up works out great, until. Until a coach comes, like one did to me, and demands the student come away from making up a test and come to practice. The coaches are also co-workers, and one would think they'd understand the emphasis on academics but that often seems to be over-shadowed by the importance of athletics. The question is, how would you handle it, if a co-worker (who also happened to be a coach) came to your room during a tutoring/make up time, and demanded the student-athlete leave early to come to practice?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a high school coach, I have worked with many coaches who get so wrapped up in coaching their sport that they seem to forget that academics come first. Sometimes coaches place the sport first and unknowingly pressure the student athlete into putting the sport before school. In this situation, I would probably not cause a scene in front of the student but later talk one-on-one with the coach about the importance of the student's academics and see if we could come to an agreement that the student attend the make-up work session. |

| Comments: I like this solution to not make a scene in front of the student and instead handle it one on one. There you can work together with the coach to come up with a solution. |
