They Just Don't Get It. Part 2

What do you do when people just don't get it? I guess what I'm saying is you have a confrontation, a falling out, or a fight and then the person you have the problem with acts like nothing ever happened.  What in the heck do you do?  Do you move on like nothing happened or do you bring it up and try to work it out? I've had one of those situations and not really sure how to deal with it because I'm not okay with acting like nothing happened.

They just don't get it

I deal with all kinds of people and it just amazes me how some of them just don't get it.  Parents who are experts (just ask them) but in reality they haven't a clue.  Those who are unhappy about things in their life and they do nothing to improve it except complain and maintain a negative attitude.  Those who have everything going for them a good relationship, a loving family, a good job but yet they are willing to throw it all away for selfish reasons and taking it all for granted.  The teenagers I deal with have a some what legitimate excuse in that they don't look any further ahead than tomorrow and are all wrapped up in the present.  I wish the adults could get it sorted out.

Making Cuts

Its time to make cuts for my high school soccer team and I'm having a tough time with the decision. I have several players who have been with the program for a while but they just haven't figured it out.  They were told about the things that we had issues with and needed to improve on but they haven't really done anything to make themselves or the situation better. There's been no sense of urgency to improve or change, they're too self centered, over committed with other things, and I think they think its expected that I will keep them around.  My question is - Do I keep them around or do I cut ties?
