Veev's Believes...2

I believe that when the little league umpire calls a "strike" and the ball looked high, parents should teach their children to accept the call.

You dont want to have a little push over kid who gives in to everyone. If he feels it wasnt a fair call, he should learn about his freedom of expression to tell the ump it wasnt fair.

No, Dav, I don't want a little pushover who buys into everything and doesn't question authority. But I don't want parents to second guess every call made by umps, refs, or teachers just because it makes little Moishy upset. Whe you trust your kids to someone, you have believe they usually know what's best and trust them.

I'm with you. Teaches the kids a lesson about sportsmanship,even though the parents have to work hard to bite their tongues.

Thanks, Mo4. If parents disagree with something done by a teacher, coach, or otherwise, they certainly have that option. But they should almost never second-guess an authority figure in the presence of their child. Remeber when we were growing up? The teacher was always right.

Nowadays, fuggettaboutit!

The parents shouldnt say anything. They should teach their kids to say something!
