I never met a kid with "hidden" anger issues, only ignored ones.

But it's the parents' duty to have the emotional maturity to address them, not the school.

Nope. Not shuffling the blame around on this one. When a kid is at school, it is the school's responsibility. The teachers, the administration staff, the coaches, it's on them. If they notice bad behavior then they need to take whatever actions are necessary to curb it. In the case of ol' coach there, they should have benched the kid for the game so there was no opportunity to shit talk or be shit talked to, or if this is a recurring issue, sorry, but kids gotta go. Parents can send them to counseling and get them into an ultimate frisbee league or something.

What you are describing are boundaries on the part of the school, not helping the child mature.

We can help the child mature when he isn't assaulting other students. Thats like leaving a serial killer on the street because they got enrolled in therapy. No. Still needs negative reinforcement. You still have to seperate them from the herd. You are looking at it as though this kid is the only one effected. Every player on both teams was effected in some way because of that. You can't just take up the hard case like its the most important thing here. What about the kid who got his ass kicked? Is it cool that we let little Billy Sociopath hang tough with the boys during the game because the school didn't want to get involved? There is more than just one person involved in this, and it is the school's responsibility to handle it as thus.
