My daughter is a Cheerleader and I have a  feeling that the coach is stealing money from the teams account?

If this squad is part of a public school's extracurricular program, they have to keep a relatively public account of their finances.  Ask the principal of the school to check the balance sheets, providing the info you cited above.  As for negative reactions to your inquiries, that's all too common.  Accept that your daughter will not make the squad.  On the other hand, if there are shady dealings going on, there may be a new coaching staff on hand for next season....

This teacher is not behaving the way she should. She is being seductive and she could get into alot of trouble. You need to stay away from her because she is not following the rules. Please talk to your parents or a counselor about this. She is going to get some kid into a real mess -- worse than you can imagine.

That's becoming a problem now, finding a gym that does more gymnastics than cheerleading.  My best advice to you is to search the yellow pages, and then go check each gym out in person.  Checking each one out is the absolute best way to determine a gym's focus.  Make sure to meet the coach that your child will have, and make sure her priorities are the same as the gym.  Also, as a side bit of information, if your daughter does do cheerleading at any time, do not allow her to tumble on the hard wood floor.  I've been a gymnast for 10 years and a coach for 2, and I've seen way too many of our girls come in injured from cheerleading. I myself did cheerleading for 1 year, and I sucessfully blew out my knee and did serious damage to my ankle doing Round-offs, or round-off back handsprings.  Easy tricks, compared to what I do in the gym, but they still put me out of competition, and I may never be able to return.  So, I urge you to share that with your daughter if she ever decides to cheer.  Hope I helped!

Contact the coach and he/she will help you! It depends on what team.

It does sound as though they are jealous...what you need is medical evidence that what is happening at school is affecting your daughter, like a letter form the doctor about bruises after hitting and kicking, or a letter about her being upset and in a state of "Mental Anguish". then go to a solicitor/lawyer and sue the Educational Authority for neglecting the needs of your daughter and not taking care of her properly, not providing a place of safety.\nMy friend did this and miraculously within a few days of her going to the solicitor, the bullies were expelled from the school and the authorities were made to pay compensation by the court.

Payed for three kids to go to a basketball clinic because they did not have the money to go. The parents were called and said their children would be able to go. They were told someone paid their way. They still dont know who made the donation.

Many states have crime victims compensation. Ask the DA's office if you have this in in your state. You also might want to file a civil lawsuit. This way if he works again or comes into money your daughter would get some of his money automatically. If you don't have money for a lawyer right now call the local BAR Association and ask for help. They probably can recommend someone who will work for free or cheap. Good luck.

Tell him exactly what you just said.  Ask the Sophomore coach if maybe you can join in on one of the practices so he can see what you've got.  If everyone really thinks your that good...and they aren't just being nice, you deserve a chance with a non biased person.

Well I haven't been in this situation but I would do one of 3 things:\n\nDo you love cheerleading more than anything you're involved in? If you truely do, you might want to quit the thing you have Sunday. Unless it's something you really can't get out of. I'm not trying to tell you to give up something else you love. But it's an option..\n\nIf your coach sees that you work really really hard in the practice you can go to, maybe you can go to one of the practices and a half-hour or so of the Sunday practice. If possible, ask to set up some private time with your coach outside of practice time so they can show you the things that you missed. They may not have time to do this. But they will respect you for asking and trying your best.\n\nIf that doesn't work out, is there another team you can try out for? Maybe your coach can recommend you to another team. \n\nIf it doesn't work out this year, remember to keep practicing and stay in shape. Show your dedication and come back next year. Try as hard as you can. I hope it works out for you! Have fun and good luck!

I think it's sad that your daughter lost her job at the aiport, she sounded like a very dedicated employee willing to go the extra mile even on her days off.  But it is probably best she is no longer there because what you are describing here is that she was probably long past exhaustion each time she accidentally took the money home, although I am certain the airport didn't consider this when they decided to fire her.\n\nOn the WHY part of your question:  When she first was employeed by the airport she probably signed an agreement of "if I mishandle money in any way that isn't in agreement with the airports rules, I understand that is grounds for dismissal"  If she agreed to these terms and broke them, is was their call to be understanding or not. They were 2 times before, but when they see a pattern of it, they are less likely to trust their money is safe. They will protect themsevles before protecting her.\n\nI agree they shouldn't make it so easy to leave your shift without turning the money in first.  Just like with waiters and waitresses, or bartenders that most of the time must carry change on them, if the airport had an end shift report to do before each employee was allowed to leave, then it could all be resolved.  I don't know any waiters or waitresses that can leave for the day without giving the company their money first, along with reporting their tipped earnings for the day.\n\nHer honesty in giving the money back is something to be proud of, and she shouldn't hold bad memories against the airport for their descision.  She made a mistake, we all do that once in a while.  She'll find another job, and she will have this experience to learn from.

Wow you poor bastard...I've seen stories on the news about people like you, sure your kid is absolutely awesome at their sport, but the cost involved in training and competing is mind boggling! I would suggest contacting your local media: newspaper, radio, and TV, set up an account at an area bank, and just ask for donations. Everybody loves a feelgood story...and the local girl who made it to nationals but couldn't afford it will surely get people's attention. I don't even know what USTA stands for, but I'll send $20....

Sorry to say this....but to pursue child support you HAVE to show them pay stubs.....so someone saw hers somewhere. If they miscalculated yours, call a hearing and detest it. But they go by gross not take home. Now if she is fraudulently getting money she has not claimed then you have to prove that! It's rough. I am sorry you are dealing with this.

If it were me, she'd be giving me the money back one way or another.  I would let her know exactly how disappointed I was in her, & she would have to EARN my trust back.  If you & her father are still on the same page where parenting is concerned, I wouldn't hesitate to get him involved, either.  At the very least, he should know about this behavior, because who is to say she didn't pull the same stunt on him, & possibly got $3,000 out of the deal?\nI don't believe the statements made that you shouldn't scold her.  She's still your child, & should be held accountable for her actions.  You are still her parent, no matter how old she is, & in a situation like this, she should be disciplined.  If she doesn't want to give you back the money, get the police involved.  Don't let her think she can run over you with threats of leaving & never talking to you again.  Your job is to make her respect you & to be a better person, not to have her like you.  Don't be her friend, be her parent.  If she needs the money for something she isn't comfortable discussing with you, most likely she's doing something she knows is wrong, & of which you'd disapprove.

The guy doesn't respect you as a player, probably because you're female and that would make him a male chauvinist pig. Another reason might be that he thinks he's the only good player on this team and will hog the ball to shoe how "great" he is. In either case, you should speak to the coach about him. He will probably be a smuck even after the coach speaks to him, so good luck. If it continues and the coach doesn't remedy this you may have to approach the local district sports board.

It shouldn't be a surprize to anyone.  He's a loser, she's too young and naive.  Hopefully she won't have to pay him too much money.  It's good that she'll be able to afford to raise those babies.  Another story of:  Could have told you so!!!

This morning with my 16-year-old daughter. She made the mistake of asking why she had to listen to me, anyway?\n\nI pointed out that since I pay for everything from the clothes on her back to the food that she eats to the $150 soccer cleats I just bought her that she HAD to have -- then she has to listen to me. \n\nI also pointed out that since I still have the receipt for those yet unworn cleats, I would have no problem bringing them back if she didn't smarten up and act like the mature human being she keeps telling me she is.\n\nShe decided to smarten up.
