While practicing in after school football, two of our guy's helmets rammed my son's knee while he was 'locked in' and I basically had to rush him to the hospital...he was in ALOT of pain!
I do not have insurance to provide for my son although I do know the school does...they re-emburse you, so regardless, I didn't have the money for his pain medication...he went to school the next day.
My son is in his 'senior' year...yes...he is seventeen, but still my child, ad he keeps a grade average of about 98 in every class...he desires college, a scholarship, or whatever...he has a goal to get out of poverty, and he knows education is his best shot.
Let me go back to the week before he was hurt...they ran an article in the newspaper about the linebackers of our high school and wrote three paragraphs about my son 'alone' and how great and powerful he was and what a great advantage he was to the entire team... he is 6'4" and 380 lbs...he is not 'fat' he powerlifts and brought our school... last year...to the Reginals (almost state) ...my son lifts 675lbs...last week my son was the BEST thing that the school ever had, or so that is what the coaches said, via the newspaper.
Okey, one day he is fine until after school practice, the next day, after our hospital visit in the evening hours, he is put in a leg brace and on crutches...I could not afford his pain medicine that night but was in process of getting it the next day...me son asked the teacher if he could go to the nurse...she said "NO" he told her he was in alot of pain and could he please go to the nurse...again she said "NO"....now, I remind you that my son has a 98 grade average and is not the kind of student to just want to "GET" out of class, his school record would prove this argument if an argument was needed...hummm
My son was upset that she would not allow him to go to the nurse and he argued with her about the matter, then went to the nurse anyhow...which I highly approve of, considering!!!
The teacher wrote a note to the asst principle to suspend my son...and it almost worked...my son refused it considering the teacher refused him to go to the nurse...it then becam a HUGE problem...the asst principle insisted to suspend my son and began leaving rude messages on my phone to call her immediately...I took the messages as "rude" so I went to the Principle instead so that I might get he problem cleared!
The principle told my son not to worry about a thing, that he would take care of the problem and that he should have never been denied the right to see the nurse...so of course, we thought it was "over" ...no, no, NO!
The asst principle kept giving the "coaches" a note saying that my son was suspended...they drilled him about it rudely and he told them that the principle was taking care of te problem and to not worry about it...
The "head coach" ...the same one, who said that, my son was very vital to the team the week before in the newspaper, suddenly began yelling at my son, throwing things around and told my son to take his "BIG FAT A*S "... up to suspension...
I am a single parent, and I have been a single parent since my son was 6 months old...my son looked up to the very coach...who told him these horrible, Horrible Words!!!
So apparently, the principle didn't take care of the problem to begin with, or I am sure this never would have happened!
When my son came home for lunch, and he told me what was said to him by the coach....he was in tears....and then I cried....my son does not want to ever play football again and to top it all off...in my son's senior year of school...he wants to "QUIT" and never go back again....go figure!!!!!
We want to keep kids in school...we do *NOT* want them to come to school and "shoot" the stuff out of everyone....and "WE" all "WONDER" why.....beats me,......?
...he can always apply for a student loan...?
...(((( WHATEVER >) ...
...so tell me...how do I get my... "BIG FAT A*S SON" ...back in school...?
