Have you heard about this one? The coach who suspended his entire football team? Yes...you read that right. High school football coach Matt Labrum suspended his ENTIRE football team following reports of his team showing less than good character off the field.
Utah Football Coach Suspends Team
It takes a person of strong character to let our children know when they are doing something wrong. I admire the coach for the actions he took. This suspension wasn't because he didn't care...it was because HE DID. I often tell students when people stop calling you out on behavior...worry. We hound you for homework, call you out when your behavior is out of line, or put high expectations on you because we care. If we didn't do these things, it would mean we didn't care what direction you go in or the type of person you become.
Here is a great opinion piece praising Coach Labrum for his actions.

Have a super weekend and thank you for all you do to help our students develop good character!
