Separate standards open the doors for these predators and wreak havoc on our profession. These issues need to be fully exposed with swift justice and followed up with communications/actions put in place to ensure our skaters and parents that the events will never occur again. Our children desire our protection and trust as much as our skills as teachers.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346618002832106460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32742635.post-81814472496366272392011-11-30T12:01:23.378-08:002011-11-30T12:01:23.378-08:00Thanks for addressing this.

When a rink decides who has access to coach at their facility they need to have accountability for the actions of their coaching staff. To simply state that they are independent contractors shouldn't exempt them from ensuring a safe environment for the youth the rink is selling ice time too. The PSA and USFS can't control everything, and right now I think there is a "loop hole" in terms of rink management's role in all of these issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
