Agreed, A parent should be able to PARENT. It becomes something else when a PARENT solicits complaints to help their own cause. That is when administration REALLY needs to consider sources etc. For some people, the glass is always half empty. Politics seems to sneak into the picture, even in HS sports. Some administrators get scared and delve into the business of parent pleasing, too often, to save their own skin. It doesn’t fix the problem with a new coach, maybe a new AD that will support his or her coaches. And usually the apple is hitting the roots of the tree as far as whining goes. Whiny parents have whiny kids. It doesn’t teach any life lessons, just continues the cycle of enabling.
