The Complaint:
I was called by my daughter who was hysterically crying. She informed me that Ms. Dearing had been yelling at the entire squad and had laughed at her and two other girls and told the team they were better off without them. One girl was hurt and Ms. Dearing laughed and refused to help her. While on the phone with my daughter I heard Ms. Dearing tell her to not always call her mommy who would not always be there for her because she had a foot in the grave. I arrived at school along with the girl that was hurt mother where Ms. Dearing walked over to me and pointed her finger in my face and told me how horrible and disrespectful my daughter was and that I and the other two moms were bad mothers and that she was a good mom because her daughter made straight A's. She kept her finger and hand in my face for at least two to three minutes with me continuously asking her to take it out of my face. I had to threaten to call the police on her. I have another daughter on the team who was also there and admitted in front of both coaches what had taken place during practice. The main coach wasn't there at all for the practice so she had no idea what happened. There were a total of four girls who admitted how dangerous Ms. Dearing was during this. All girls were quit and crying when we got there. Of course all video that would and should have been kept have been destroyed. Many phone calls with the principle Ms. Beverly Oliver and with the school board SuperIntendent and many other individuals had no effect. Ms. Dearing was promoted the following month to head coach and my second daughter who in no involved in this tryed out for the team for 2008-2009 did not make the team. She was the only returning cheerleader not to make the team. She was used during the week of tryouts to teach cheers and to spot tumbling. Their excuse for her not making the team was because she did not write a good enough essay. Let me point out that in the requirement for making the team, there was no mention of an essay. It was just an excuse. I would not have wanted my daughter to cheer with her as a coach anyways. I was assured by the school board that Ms. Dearing had been punished but they could not tell me what they had done. I had no idea that she would be promoted. I expected her to not be able to work with children anymore. She is only a book keeper for the school with no cheer experience, except for the season prior. Her excuse for her behavior was that she had a bad night the night before and that her mother was sick. I do feel for her, but she should not take it to school and in no way take it out on the children. She also said that a few girls rolled their eyes at her and my oldest one was one of them and they did not care what happened in her life. Girls that age do roll their eyes and probably don't care about what happens in her home life. I do think some sort of punishment was deserved for the rolling eyes, but not what was done to them. She could have set her out of practice, given demerits, called home. Those would have been appropriate punishments, not laughing and making remarks about their parents. Poor Coaching! I now believe that all of Great Bridge Middle and The Chesapeake School Board are Prejudice against my children and I am sure this will follow them for the duration of their years in Chesapeake Schools. My oldest daughter is trying out for High School and I am somehow sure this will be held against her. I was told by Ms. Dearing that her sister in law was best friend with the coach for High school and she would make sure the coach knows all about it. I really hope and expect the High School Coach to make their own judgment and decision based on what they see and not what they hear. I have had an issue as serious as this one be totally ignored. I have three children in Cedar Road Elementary. I have never had any problems with Cedar Road. Maybe small problems, but nothing serious and nothing not taken care of. I am not a problem parent who likes to cause trouble. I know my children are not perfect, but I expect more from the instructors we put before our children.
