If what’s alleged is true, that coach ought to be up on criminal charges.
And why in God’s name aren’t parents teaching their kids to refuse to comply when they are treated like this?!
Around that age, I got caught laughing in class a few times, and one time for passing a note. All it took was for the teacher to admonish me for me to stop – no detention and no physical punishments were necessary.
And from what I read this girl’s laughing in class didn’t even take place in the coach’s class.
“The principal told them they would be in class detention for about 10 to 20 minutes, and they would let their softball coach know about the situation”.
So, the coach took it upon herself to met out a punishment, one that seemed pretty extreme given the circumstances.
Why tell the coach when he/she had zero to do with the class she laughed in? That’s another teacher who needs to be charged in the legal case.
Can’t stand coaches. Never met one who didn’t enjoy throwing their weight around and meting out ridiculous punishments.
