There’s no law that a parent can’t text their child dude. You are a teacher not a dictator. These people are forced to come to school to listen to you teach whatever your state tells you to teach, if you’re in public schools. There’s no law that parents aren’t allowed to communicate with their child or send a text during any certain set hours. Thank God. Scolding parents like you’re the warden of their children is a truly gross look. Find something better to complain about. Parents being in touch with their kids?? No. Schools, teachers, and systems telling parents they don’t have purview over their own children is part of what facilitated MK Ultra, GATE programs and ***Epstein-esque lists***, etc. There are plenty of legit and timely “best interest of children” soap boxes to hop on and you’re sidestepping ALLLLLLLLL of them here.

I had my first job before I could even get a drivers license, so forgive me if I struggle to understand grown adults who refuse to work and still expect handouts.

I asked a player I worked with who played professionally for 8 years: “If you could go back to age 12, what would you do differently?” Her answer: “I’d spend way more time on the ball. Ball mastery, cleaning up my touch. That’s it.” First touch isn’t a drill. It is the game. Every top player you watch has an automatic first touch. Not decent. Automatic. You want that? 15 minutes a day. Wall work. No breaks. Eight weeks.
