Sounds to me like they did take responsibility for what they did when they reported the situation to…Read More their coach. The parents aren't making excuses; they just want equitable treatment for their kids considering the punishment is so out of line with any punishment administered by SPHS in the past. Clairification as to why out of 22 teens issued citations, only 3 lacrosse players were punished might be nice too. Nineteen others (many of which are members of fall/winter sports teams, DECA, etc...) also received citations and went completely unpunished. So apparently SPHS doesn't care what student/athletes do either when their sport is out of season or if an athletic code of conduct isn't involved? That makes absolutely no sense.

It's hard, but parents should be smart, too. At least as long as your kid is under age, you ought…Read More to know if your kid is considering going to an unsupervised house. And why don't you walk into the house at least the first time and chat with the parents a bit? Sure, you'll embarrass the kid, but-- so? And if the kids are hanging out in your basement, go downstairs occasionally! Take a walk around your property while they're there! Lock up the liquor! Read their tweets and see if they or the friends are talking about getting crunk! When your kids were little, you put child safety locks and fences, didn't you? It's the same when you are being vigilant and outspoken guiding your kids to make good choices even it's uncool. Back then, and now, kids need a few roadblocks and checkpoints for their own safety and good future.

Nobody has said stopping by this house was a good idea. They made a bad choice and expected to be…Read More punished. The issue is the punishment is completely out of line with anything ever handed down in the past. The issue is a lacrosse player at Arundel High School received the exact same citation and only received a 3 game suspension. The issue is 22 students in total received citations, yet only 3 lacrosse players were punished. Nineteen other students went completely unpunished. Explain to me where the fairness is in that? This fish stinks and the rot starts at the top.
