Putting aside whether racism made a difference or not for a minute:  It is true that you have to speak to students in a "Disney voice" or they will get their feelings hurt.  Administration could slam most every teacher at any time for not following all the educational jargon and "standards" for each daily class.[/quote]

They guy thought band was a sport and tried act like a coach. It turns out band kids don't want to be treated like athletes.  [/quote]

I always thought marching band was really strict with the band director shouting at the students when they messed up the routine. In that sense the band director is like a coach. Band directors aren’t all soft spoken like in that old movie Mr Holland’s Opus. [/quote]

I guess there are enough students who think band is more like a class than a sport. No one would put up with their bio teacher screaming at them like a football coach, band seems like it's in between. This guy seems to have veered to far towards coach [/quote]
