School rules do not extend off campus | Letter

Great, there are 10 students who were suspended from playing sports games. No hard training for them, no sweating or disciplining. Lucky them – more time for partying.

What about their coaches? Oh yeah, now they have more time to work on getting donations for their sport teams.

Superior job, superintendent. Thanks to “informers,” we could get the names of our heroes. By the way, about the “handbook rules,” aren’t they for school boundaries and not for a private property? I hope the school-policing (all island inclusive) will not push kids to get their good and bad actions off the island – or enough out of the country.

I do not like to see drunk teenagers around, but less to shepherd them out of our sight. Rejection is a weakness, positive involvement in every individual is prophesy. A good coach or teacher knows there has to be a punishment for misbehaving, such as cleaning the school yard, mopping the gymnasium floor, etc., but never take their love away.
