You are a student in High School involved in extracurricular activities and the rules tell you that you can't use, possess, buy, sell or give away alcohol, tobacco or drugs. You are also banned from gathering at any place where any of these illegal activities are taking place. These are the rules you are bound to abide by. So, when you are caught at a party with alcohol and tobacco present what happens? Your parents sue the school because their precious little angels were kicked off the team.
If you knew the rules going in and did not agree with them why didn't the parents protest the rule then instead of waiting until their kid was trapped by it? Why were the kids involved in the sports if they couldn't abide by the rules?
What ever happened to teaching your kids responsibility? Abide by the rules or suffer the consequences. What does this teach them down the road? If you don't like the rules, violate them then sue to change them? Bah! These parents little angels need to learn responsibility and take their punishment like men, not fight it like little weasels. What an example the parents set.
You must accept responsibility for your actions, but not the credit for your achievements. Denis Waitley













The boss voted against allowing the boys to be reinstated on the team after they were suspended durng the criminal investigation...and our kids still reap the rewards in school, of being singled out for negative attention. There are even a hefty number of grownups who still don't speak to us either. Of course, the bombers did come back to play. The coach just suspended his own code of ethics so that they could. After all it was a championship year.
