[quote=Anonymous]I have zero problems with a coach asking a kid to work on his skill as the consequence of him not participating/having poor attitude. My daughter does martial arts. If she's late for class, she has to stay later and do extra push-ups and sit-ups, which is great for conditioning. Kids lose their belt for the kind of behavior your son engaged in, and it can take weeks or months to earn it back (yes, with extra dedication and hard work). OP, as a parent, I find your response to his appallingly rude behavior, even more problematic. In your shoes, I would have talked with my child about why his lack of participation and rudeness is not acceptable, explain to him the importance of cooperation in a team sport, and have him apologize to the coach and his teammates, the next time. Learning from mistakes and especially, learning to apologize sincerely, are all a part of growing up.[/quote]
