I'm gonna get crucified for this one, but what the hey
I vividly recall a time that when you left school for the day, you were no longer their "property" as it were
One can only assume that due to the fact the "Administration" claims that playing sports is a "privilege" at said school, they obviously allow whomever wishes to participate to do so, and for free I must add. If that is not the case, well there is problem number 1
Now as I have read the thread, and little from other sources as well. My take was basically that the cops were already there, she showed up and "viola" instant summons. Mostly because she was on the property, and nothing more.
So, she pays a price for being there. Nothing more and nothing less than that, simple enough right? Perhaps.
I have a 23 yr old daughter, who just happens to play volleyball in the Big 10. Had she done what this girl did, I would have been thrilled she did, because that means she was compassionate enough and smart enough to realize what the consequences of possibly allowing that person to drive may have been.
Oh, and FWIW she in fact has done so, several times actually.
I turn 50
in a few short months, as I have aged, and gone thru life I have noticed a few things about our society that quite frankly bewilders me.
Here is a case that can be looked upon as a situation where this young lady in fact did a good thing, heck did the right thing, only to be shamed and penalized. Sure the cops gave her a summons, they basically had no choice. She went out of her way to help another, and not only did the law penalize her for her actions, so did the very people we pay to educate her to.......... wait for it............make the right choices in life.
I defy anyone here to meet me face to face over the age of 35 and tell me this girl did a bad thing, cause bottom line she didn't!!! Simple as that folks.
Our society or educational system no longer supports or attempts to impress on the younger generation to do the right thing, think before you do, use common sense in every facet of your daily life. Instead, it has as I see it become a society and system that has no clue how to instill or teach any of those things as a whole. It's sad
Some will argue it's all up to the parents, and I agree to a point, but the reality is this. Or educational system used to carry it beyond the home and parents, when they lost the ability to do so.... We all lost
