Reply to "The HS Kid Who Quits & Comes Back"

Our high school has a rule if a student is caught in an alcohol related situation they are suspended from extracurricular activities for 90 days. If tryouts are during that period the player is SOL.

My son was at a busted party in town where everyone was breathalyzed. He blew a zero and allowed to leave. I asked him how he managed to not measure. His response was, “I told you I don’t drink.” He would walk around parties with an empty beer can so he wouldn’t be pressured into having a drink.

He didn’t drink at all until senior year. My daughter didn’t drink until college. They still won’t even drink soda. 

The school also has a rule pending criminal charges are an automatic extracurricular activity suspension. I figure at some point it will be challenged on right to due process. The one kid I know who got suspended knew he was going to be found guilty of assaulting a cop. He went on to play football in the SEC.
