In my opinion for the parent to have embarrassed Hammond, her child ,and herself the way she did crosses the line..I'm sure the code of conduct at Hammond would speak to parental conduct as well....If a parent would have enterred a classroom and verbally attacked a teacher in a manner in which the parent had to be restrained and forceably removed to me that results in forfeiture of the privilege of attending a school.This is no different.This is Pinasco's classroom, only much more public...Yes, this would cause harm to the child, but in my opinion the harm was done by the parent.....Basically, as a parent I can't believe anyone would get this upset at a teacher or coach would and want their child to continue on at that school.
As a former,teacher,coach and administator, I feel that the Administration has to draw the line and say the "You cannot treat one of our coaches(teachers) in this fashion.For those who feel that banning a parent from attending games and or other activities would accomplish this, I respect your opinion,but to me it calls for harsher measures...Again, I'm sorry for the child.I'm sure they are feeling total humiliation right about now.But administarive support for facilty and staff is also important in my book.
