You are missing the point!!! Those 2 players at your school most likely KNEW that they were not to be drinking or be where others were illegally drinking. The players CHOSE to be at the BEER PARTY, too late to complain about consequences.
Kids need LESS excuses made for their in-appropriate behaviors and MORE accountability for for the decisions THEY make.
As "leftydad" would say, "just my opinion.".

OPP,
Just to clarify things, it was a rival school, not the one my son attends.
No, I am not missing the point. I understand it fully. They were where they were not suppose to be. They got caught and are being punished.
I don't see what I wrote as making any excuses for those kids. Nor was I complaining about the consequences, heck we get to play them while they are on suspension.
I was simply using them as an example of what I think is wrong with the zero tolerence at least as applied at that school. I just disagree with them being punished for simply being at the party. As Bee pointed out, they chose to say no but wanted to hang out with their friends.
