Just typical drama that goes on daily, and yes it is ridiculous. Kids and parents should not have to deal with this on top of the other stress of raising teenagers.

We could have also brought along the rest of the students who couldn't afford to go and still had money left over. Point is the district made lots of $$$ off the ticket sales from this game. Our family spent close to 600.00 for two nights with food and gas. The mess after the game was ridiculous, but not sure who was responsible for that. Stuff like that just makes the district look bad.
They were to sit in section 114. The first 4 or 5 rows, the whole row. There were plent of room for the girls, it was not like there were not enough seats.
Are you sure about that? I would need to hear some figures to believe that. That sounds awfully expensive. Granted, the football team did it, but on the Athletic Booster Club's dime, not the district's.
I also seem to remember some posts made on this site that talked about the district breaking even with the Alamodome game.

As far as confusion after the game goes, chaos is hard to avoid when you're in the midst of 250 teenagers after a football game and 5-6 hour trip.
the mass confusion that Mrs. Briggs started was before the game. She insisted that several people move from their seats, including myself and family. To this day I have no idea why she was adamant that the Indianettes not sit in the rows allotted to them.
Ok, let's explore the issue. Where were the Indianettes originally going to sit?

Anyone who knows Marc Keith knows that he wouldn't have an official on his staff who he thought was bent on "showing everyone who really runs the school" rather than doing what's best for students like myself.

Great explanation. Sounds like good parenting to me.NDN NATION said:I will take up for my children always that is what parents do. Now if they are wrong that is a different story. My kids learned from an early age that they can't always win and they can't be the best at everything but I taught them to give their very best and never give up.

When an administrator tells your child "tell anyone about this meeting and I will come after you" or "teachers are like the mafia 'mess with one of us and you mess with all of us " let me know if you would "stroll up to the school to raise hell" . Nobody gets a pass if they threaten my child .indianalways said:Justafan said:My two daughters were Indianettes 2004-2007.

That's no lie. Someone's seventeen year old daughter's feelings get hurt and instead of being an adult and trusting that an educator who has given their life to NO pay and NO time off is doing what's best for everyone, mommy and daddy stroll up to the school to raise hell. It's been the problem with extra-curricular activities for thirty years. What 'adults' don't realize is that most of the time kids actually get over, learn from, and move past a situation, while their parents do not.

Everyone, I apologize for my previous comment. It is easy to become upset when trying to deal with the public. Especially the ones who have no sense at all. For someone to be calling out anger you sure have a lot yourself. Teachers do the best they can with what's made available to them. Parents who make emotionally charged, often misguided decisions to attack a teacher based on an upset CHILD do not help resolve situations that ARE NOT as big as some people make them up to be. If the teacher is in the wrong, certainly they need to be called out. Sadly, most people can't make that distinction.purplepride said:It sounds like you have alot of anger towards this stuent and her parents. I'm sure that it is really none of your business and just maybe you should not be posting on this forum on school time. If employees like you would be supervising these children and doing your job instead of judging PNG students parenting skills the Reservation would
be a much better place. I am sure the tax payers would like to know who is wasting their tax payer dollars. Now get yourself back to educating children.
purplepride said:For a person that appologised then turns around and blames the parents who are concerned about their kids is just showing their how you cant handle your job. Cant handle the heat get out of the kitchen. sound like you are full of yourself and could not tell the destinction if it would hit you in the rear. I would consider that indian giving on the appoligy so maybe you don't make a good PNG NDN. It sounds like you know alot about this 17 year old daughter and her parents. Isn't it in your educators code of ethics about a students confidentiality? I hope the parents of the 17 year old daughter read this and take action. I also hope the PNG Community would back up any family who tries to protect their children from as arrogant as yourself.

I could not be more proud of our team and our community. The spirit here is unmatched! I am so lucky to be a part of it and to wear the purple and white! The journey of this football season, with these coaches and our players, will stay with me forever. -- PN-G Head Coach Jeff Joseph
