And the pendulum swings....

Today was the first day of school and evidently the teachers and coaches have decided to "get tough" and go on the offensive. I thought last year went pretty well, but there's a new military school feel at our small town Texas high school, and if ANYBODY does ANYTHING, they are zero tolerant.
Take for instance, cheerleading tonight. My daughter came home sobbing. My daughter who has never made a really bad choice in her life. My daughter who hasn't made anything but straight A's her whole life. The one that is a super achiever and tries to excel at all she does. As a matter of fact, ALL of the girls there tonight want to quit. The new sponsor acts like a Nazi and kept trying to intimidate all of the girls. Mission accomplished. They all hate you now and want to quit. Cheerleading is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be an organization where you promote school spirit. The only spirit they promoted tonight was depression. And anxiety. And loss of self esteem. Why do these types of jerks become teachers? So they can push around kids that have to do what they say? So they can feel powerful?
Losers....
