Recently at a very prestigious Catholic high school here in the St. Louis area, 4 of the best players on the baseball team were caught smashing mail boxes and were kicked off the team. I heard one parent threatened to sue but ultimately chose otherwise. The school never budged and supported the coach. The difference here is that them being a private school with a reputation at stake, they have an easier time with situations like this. Since you have to apply to go to school there, they can get rid of you for failure to follow their rules.
Public high schools are becoming a joke. Johnny screws up, gets some form of discipline and the parents threaten lawsuits and all of a sudden, Johnny is out of trouble. Police have to be involved in everything. The kid can't play ball if he's on probabtion or behind bars. Kids need to understand that there are consequences for improper behavior.
