My son was kicked off the track team for missing practice:
1. He went to the USMMA Open House in March and missed, the HS Principal signed off on the college visit excuse, but according to the principal it only covers the "academic day".
2. The best one....He missed because he had his wisdom teeth taken out, had an excuse, but was told he should have not had them out during track season even though he had to for the USMMA.
Had a discussion with the principal and because HE chose to go to the Open House and he chose to have his wisdom teeth out, then he has to suffer the consequences of missing track practice which is 3 absences and you are out, whether or not you have excuses.....Because HE chose to do these things instead of track PRACTICE!!!
And no there is Not anything else to this story...is this unbelieveable!!
Another unbelieveable part is the coach told the team he was kicked off and could someone please tell him to return his uniform......Would not tell my son directly. Coach is known to be tough, but DS always joked it would get him ready for KP......
I have contacted the School Superintendent's Office, they were not happy, but no word as of yet.....
What would you do if you were the parent??? I am shocked, stunned, and this just does not make common sense....
