[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 571154, member: 14557"] Okay, my cultural background shows here but: If it is not a consistent school/district policy that is enforced consistently, I would fight it. First of all, I don't really see how it is school's job or right to punish for something that is not school's business. There are laws and if you break them, there are legal consequences, but how school figures to this? There are students rights? Is there a trial and appeal process? How does school make sure the student did what they are accused of? How can a student defend themselves? Are these school courts professional, unbiased etc? If not, it is a huge problem. And again, how it is school's business what a student does on their free time? Secondly I'm very against taking the positive influence out of kids' lives when they struggle. A cheerleader spends a night in the party with alcohol? How is taking the healthy and time consuming positive hobby out of their lives supposed to give them less time and inclination to party and drink? About hundred years ago a guy who greatly influenced our sport world famously said that it is better that young men do sports and drink than that they just drink. I kind of agree. Taking the good and positive influence out of children's life doesn't make them stop the negative behaviours. And even if you can't stop negative behaviours (with some other method) it is better to have both negative and positive behaviours than only negative. Are the school planning to ban kids who do something wrong from reading books too? That too is positive behaviour that may be of use for them in future and what they may enjoy. So if for example a kid, who likes to read throws a teacher with the ball in P.E, it is logical to ban all books from him till next year with that logic. [/QUOTE]
