Public School over-reach?

[Irving]

Don't forget the nexus tying students to the school. Education isn't a right either.

So do you think that the girl they are messing with should just put up with it?



The incident involved another student/team mate. She didn't have to sit a game for leaving a nasty note in a strangers car..

Teenagers don't use common sense or compassion. I know from experience.

Do you really think teaching young people to treat others with dignity and respect is "the continued pussification of kids"?

Let me be clear, I am not defending GG daughters actions, it's not about that, it's about the school overstepping those boundaries on a situation that occurred away from school off property that is being addressed by the police and GG, that's the way is should work IMO. I alao know that opinions are like buttholes everybody's got one.

What boundaries is the school overstepping? You do something out of line involving someone you know from school, school potentially suspends you FROM SCHOOL. Same deal as with sports. You are disciplined within the organization. Missing school is no extreme circumstance. The school isn't garnishing wages or blocking you from getting a license or a job.

Yep.... Just like me.... If I do something stupid outside of work and the cops get called I get in trouble too.

I don't like people fucking with my car.... Had it been my car.... criminal charges would have been pressed against all those involved.

I'm an asshole when it comes to my car. One of my "friends" wrote "pussy bitch" on my car windows with a paint pen. Yeah, it came off with a razor blade and some alcohol, but I still had him tagged with vandalism.

I'd say she's lucky criminal charges weren't pursued. Take the suspension and don't make waves. It could be worse.

Wow....

I haven't had a chance to read all of the replies in this thread yet, but here's an update. (Been working graves the last 10 of 11 nights and have 3 more to go)

It turns out the "victim" made up the story about her hatch opening and her crap flying out. I'm still not sure if a police report was actually filed. High school girl drama...<sigh>

Son "17" had same girlfriend "17" for over 1 year, son leaves girlfriend. Girlfriend gets upset about being dumped and sprays nasty message on son's car at work with washable paint, son get pissed and files report with police. Son decides to drop complaint same day.. Cops say they can't because since they were in a relationship at one time, what ex did is considered DOMESTIC ABUSE. Cops go to girls house, she confesses and go's to Juvi, until she can be seen by a judge for domestic abuse charges. Things are not what they once were folks, its amazing what the consequences are now for what most of us would think is petty.

Honesty is not always the best policy in this day and age. My parents always told me to be honest with authorities and own up to what I did. I loved by those rules and the first time I got into trouble following those rules got me a much more severe punishment than keeping my
Mouth shut would have.

My children will be thought not to speak to authorities under any circumstance until they have spoken to mom and dad or mom and dad's attorney and one of them are present at the time they are speaking to authorities. It's the authorities job to twist facts and convince people to talk themselves into criminal charges regardless of actual guilt. "Hook me up and let the system figure it out."

Your kid broke into a vehicle. Prank or not.

I don't have kids and I don't personally know you, but it seems like you're more concerned with someone stepping into your child disciplinary space than you are anything else.

Regardless, missing a game is a small price to pay. It is certainly a better penalty than having a juvenile record.

Best of luck with the situation.
