Ok i usually dont bring my personal life to the board but i just have to tell someone about this. yesterday while at school i was in gym like any other normal day. my coach asked me to take his attendence up to the front so i said ok and did so. on my way to the front i ran into a buddy of mine and asked for a couple of bucks and he lent it to me. so i went and droped the attendence off and on my way back to class i ran into my best friend who at the time was running laps. he stopped and walked with me back up to the gym. as we approached the gym my coach came up to me in his little golf cart and said that he had got a call from the office stating 2 other people went with me and he wanted to know why and who they were. i told i had gone by myself and that know one went with me (which was the truth). He then got very cocky and said there was nothing i could do to proove it so i told sure i could i have 2 bucks a friend lent me he is a witness he saw me by myself. my coach asked to se my money so i said ok and pulled it out and showed him. he said in a very harsh tone give it to me so i said ok under the assumption that he would give it back. but then he started to drive away and i said can i have my money back he no i want something to drink. my friend who had been standing there the whole time got ticked off and that he cant do that and him to give my money back. i could have easily took up for myself but everthing happend so fast. anyway my coach told my friend to shutup and mind his own damn bussiness. my friend then told him no and still insisted that he give my money back. my coach then got out of his golf cart and told him if this were the bointon beach mall parking lot and you said that to me he said i would your mother f$$king a$$ i began to get extremly irretated and told coach to leave him alone and if he laid one finger on my friend i would run his fat a@@ over. he then proceded to tell me he has a gun in his car and he would shoot me. my friend got pissed and walked away leaving me and coach there. my coach said justin get in the cart. so i said ok and he drove me around the parking lot to behind the school were know one was at and said do you realize i could take you out of this cart and kick your mother f@@king a@@ and know one would be here to you scream theres know witness's. he then proceeded to ask me do you think you can kick my ass and i told him hand to hand probley not but if i can a hold of one of those rocks im going to beat the shit out of you with it. he cotinued to harrass me untile he said get back in the cart i dont want some one to think im rapeing you back here my friend happend to be in the bathroom which is right were he told me all of this stuff and herd everything. so when i got back my friend said he was going to the office to tell them about what he heard so i said i would go with him so we went down and told them and they did nothing to the teacher other than tell him not to cus. can you belive that crap.
That is messed up. That is when you get names and dial the cops. Or if you prefer the more violent approach meet him in a dark alley with a bat. But i'd call the cops. -Todd
You dont have to be violent, If everything you say is true and you can back it up, call the cops on him. that is what i would do. For him to have a gun and threaten to shoot you? That is like really bad. I wouldnt just let it blow over. He could be a threat to other students. That is just my opinion. -Todd
I would call the police and tell that you were mugged and assaulted by the school coach. If that didnt work I would slash his tires and poor paint stripper all over his car.
Guys.....Guys.... ..enough with the paint stripper and tire slashing. You have not mentioned one critical aspect of this fiasco. Did you tell your parents? I don't know you and I certainly don't know your parents. If you have parent(s) or a guardian, they need to be brought up to date on what happened. Discuss what happened with them and you should probably have THE GUARDIAN schedule a meeting with either the principal/school administrator or with the school district/board management office. You should write down your best recollection of the events and submit them to the people that you meet with. If you and your guardian get the same response that YOU received from your school office, I would then approach either an attorney or the media. If you approach the media and they find it newsworthy, attorneys will find you. I would suggest the attorney first. This is if you wish to pursue this avenue against the coach. I would stress that he does not sound like a nice person, and probably should not have done these things. Of course, he probably is not the lone ranger as far as coaches go, there are plenty like him. Now, that being said. Be prepared. If you are one of those kids with a history of discipline issues, academic issues or the like, you are in for a counter attack. I am guessing that your school administrators use 2 way radios. IF someone called the coach and told them you were in the halls with another person, either you have a quick triggered radio operator monitoring the halls, or you have a reputation or both. And it could be, that you are totally innocent, it is just that your school has a high rate of illicit activity going on and everything and everyone gets reported. Either way, the coach should not have taken money from you. He was probably trying to play enforcer by taking you behind the school. Which is the last thing that he should do. Hmm, suppose you were claiming sexual harrassment against him. His career would be doomed. Of course, so would your reputation! So, talk to your parent(s) or guardian and stay away from the coach as much as possible. But don't skip class. And leave the paint stripper at home. Seth
Littertoy, Good response. I'm an ex-teacher and I'll be damned if I would let a teacher get a way with that let alone allow anyone talk to my kid like that. You can't let this drop. You have witnesses and can substanciate your case. The down side is the good old boy system that protects their own and you entered into the argument yourself. If he had continued on his rant alone you would have been in a better position, but then again, your witnesses can support you, he has no witnesses on his side. The school that my younger son goes to got rid of two coaches for simular things last year. I do not accept that kind of behavior from anyone. Hang his Big Fat A--
Very good advice Seth. I would not want this guy teaching my kids. If he is an ex Marine he sure didn't learn anything from them, and therefore, has nothing to teach young minds. Marines are, without a doubt, the most disciplined bunch I have ever met.
As a second year law student I would say that your best course of action is always to go to your parents, and tell them the whole truth, even stuff that might get you in trouble, second go to the school and first feel out the administration to see what is going on, if it seems like you are getting nowhere, end the meeting on the pretense that you feel that your rights were violated and that you will from then on have your lawyer contact them. Attend classes if at all possible and remember that your actions both inside of school and out will be an issue. Most of all write down your side of the story, as time goes by you will begin to forget things and it will be harder to remember clearly what happened. Most of all don't do anything stupid, two wrongs don't make a right and in the end retaliation only hurts the victim. Let your parents and a lawyer fight it out. Hope this helps. Jeri
You need to report him to the Dean or Principal, AND you need to tell your parents...He can so easily be fired for that....
what ever you do, you need to have the support of your parents. i would not put it past this guy to lie so you need to have your ducks in a row and document everything. last thing is if you met him at the boynton beach mall, do it in front of ruby tuesdays so you have a lot of witnesses. that last part is a joke. good luck
Your coach drives around in a golf cart ? Your teachers have 2 way radios . I must be a hick !!!!! Tell your parents what happened . Tell your principle what happened with your parents beside you . Tell him/her if it happens again you will press charges . My 2 cents but my coach didnt have a golf cart . How many kids are in your school anyways ?
ive told my principle and he did nothing. but if i tell my parents then they will go nuts and approach the guy and do something stupid.
