Girl Suspended from Team b/c she Gave a Drunk friend a ride home.

I don't understand why high schools could not use common sense for kids who understand responsible and knowing the difference from right and wrong. If the teenage kid understand what common sense mean in order to do the right thing to help a friend when a friend called her to get a ride home from the party.

On the other hand, I am wondering maybe the school felt that she should be with the friend when the police showed up to take the drunk teenagers to jail. I don't know.

If the police had not been there, then that would help her to take the friend home safely and both of them would not get killed in the car accident. I think she would have no problem with the zero tolerance as long as there were no police around at someone's party. That is my opinion.
 
"She wasn't punished for driving a friend home. Why do people keep saying that? She was actually punished for being in a place (where) alcohol was served," Nancy Taylor said, also on Facebook. "I'm sure she is well aware of the school's policy. She chose to violate that policy."

"Just because she was an honors student and the captain of the volleyball team shouldn't give her a free pass to disregard the school's known zero tolerance policy," Elyse Bruce said on CNN Living's Facebook page. "To let her off the hook is to discriminate against those who are not honors students or captains of sports teams who take the school police seriously and abide by it."

that's a grossly misguided and contorted view of this unfortunate situation. I can tell that person is not a very well-liked person.
 
Do you think Nancy Taylor or Elyse Bruce were being jealous of her and wanted to put a bad name on it?

It seem the high school and even some of the commentors just wanted to put a blame on the innocent high school teenager for punishment and to get her off from the honor roll and her volleyball team.

That is not smart or common sense on those two commentors making the exlamation on what they want to say about those zero tolerance. Shame on them. :(

The girl that got suspended was not drunk and not been drinking . The cops wrote a letter on the girl behave . The cops would not had let the drive home drink.
 
According to the article, it's a case of being at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Some policies have ridiculous notions of all or nothing principles. So she was being punished and grouped with those kids "just for being present at a place where illegal booze was served". On the other hand, some people did not bother to read completely what the circumstances are. No, it's not due to picking up a drunk friend home... :roll:

I know what you meant, sux when a policy is written in a way where even being helpful is a consequence. They ought to consider an exception when common sense is involved, it's just impossible to write up something that covers every conceiveable action involving any event. (No winder congressional legislation is miles long! :shock: )
