is it appropriate for a coach?

[Anonymous]

Even if there may be some truth to it, do you think it’s appropriate for a Soccer Coach to tell a group of teenage girls that they are immature and entitled? This was said in an insulting and demeaning way, not in a joking way.

"Even if there is some truth" - that means they're extremely entitled/immature for it to even become a topic.

Yes. Maybe they'll listen to a coach.

would you be OK with a teacher saying the same thing to your teen child? That they are entitled because of the school, their parents can afford to send them to?

Maybe it depends on the school but I tell my kids they are entitled all the time and don’t mind if teachers and coaches say the same (assuming they are acting that way). I mean what are you telling ur kids?

I am a middle school teacher and I have told students that they are immature because they can be. There are some disgusting students and they act immature. Why would I tell them any differently? I have never called anyone entitled but then again, my students population just isnt. However, I see nothing bad about it.

Why wouldn't it be appropriate, OP? Sometimes the truth hurts and maybe it'll make those brats snap to.

+1 no problem with it. Of course it likely fell on deaf ears.

Yes. My kid goes to a private school and if she's acting entitled I want her to be called out on it.

This is OP, I said may be some truth to it because at times these girls can act a little immature, but they are still young teens. I suppose I wouldn’t be upset with him just saying they were immature at times and encourage them to focus/be more serious.

My issue is when he is yelling/berating shaming certain players by calling them names, for example, “entitled” because their “parents can afford to send them to a private school” does not seem appropriate since in context it had nothing to do with their performance. Actually I don’t think it’s really appropriate for any adult to try to shame a child by calling them entitled in front of their teammates.

They have a mom who asks is this OK, then they probably are very entitled.

Take it up with the coach I am sure there will be no repercussions for your kid.

This is a whole separate thread.

And, it seems like you didn’t like the first round of responses so you are trying to steer people back to the responses you want.
