Absolutely.calus_3 said:Yeah, these girls will go on to be prima donnas in their college careers and marry some drunkard frat boy attorney wanna be.
But the good news is that in 20 years at the reunion, they will all be just as flabby and just as divorced as most everyone else. Karma...it sucks.
This story is amazing though. It is like a bad hollywood caricature of modern day high school life...where it is meant to be so over the top as to not be believable. But it was true!

I agree with you...why o why was the principal given 75,000.00? What utter bs.:banghead:
The mother lost her job because of her own behavior...inaction. She was the pricipal of the school and her job was to enforce discipline. She looked the other way either because her daughter was involved or she was just plain incompetent or both. In my opinion she got off way too easy.californiacarrie said:What I want to know is what kind of punishment is called for when a parent loses their job because of their child's behavior. Grounding? Spanking? Locked in her bedroom forever? If I were the girl's mother I would be absolutely LIVID!

LOL, I know!reb said:WHY, exactly,, did the school board give this corrupt woman $75K to resign instead of firing her dumb?????
She put her in an alternative school to finish her senior year.californiacarrie said:What I want to know is what kind of punishment is called for when a parent loses their job because of their child's behavior.

Well, if it's like when I was in school, I'm sure they made anyone they didn't like feel horrible, and they and everyone else knew nothing would be done. Classic bully behavior is what not only the other kid's got but the teacher's too!! It's like out of that movie "Mean Girls".Amraann said:I am unclear as to how exactly these girls terrorized anyone...
Amraann, I'm with you. I think it was a poorly written and/or presented news article. I'm sure the girls did horrible things (otherwise, why would there be a news story at all), but there wasn't enough information for us to determine our own opinion on the story.Amraann said:I am unclear as to how exactly these girls terrorized anyone...
UMM I cannot dispute that many who have low self esteem are subject to teenage drama.CarpeDiem said:Well, if it's like when I was in school, I'm sure they made anyone they didn't like feel horrible, and they and everyone else knew nothing would be done.

So far, I'm in agreement with them. What have the girls done to gain this kind of attention? Skip class? Be disrespectful toward teachers? Post stupid pictures of themselves online? Many of my students, who are approximately the same age, do this. Nobody was physically hurt, no weapons were used, nothing illegal (aside from maybe the normal teen stuff) was done, so why is this in the news?indallas2 said:Here is the lastest on this story, the cheerleaders and their parents think the national attention has been blown out of proportion:
