Hey give the kid credit, at least he's sticking to his guns. One of the biggest problems I see w/ kids is that they just walk around w/ that "Whatever" attitude and don't stick w/ anything......except video games.
Don't get me wrong, I believe that any kid should be allowed to try out but has to realize that he might not make it. Then if he really wants it he has to work hard and keep trying.
I also don't think its the teachers responsibility to discipline my kids...its mine. The teacher has the responsiblity to let me know my kid is screwing up, then I'll take over. I see to many parents that tip toe around there kids and just won't read them the riot act when they desparately are in need of it. they try to handle it w/ Psycho-babble or medication. I think parents need to let there kids know just who exactly is the boss.....and its not them.
