[QUOTE="XD-9Guy, post: 1876672, member: 4869"] Really? You think he should lose his job? That seems WAY excessive. Am I the only one that thinks there's a lesson to be learned in the kid writing the apology? In life you can in fact do whatever you want but there are always principles & school boards in life that are going to correct you if you step out of bounds. This whole story sounds way too theatrical, this same situation plays out at several graduations every year it's just usually the kid does what is asked, gets a diploma & it's not a news story. I don't know that the kid learns anything of value if the school board caves, it's not like she can stand her ground when she's in the wrong in the real world & have things go her way. If she's at work one day, says something inappropriate in a meeting & gets written up she can't refuse to sign the write up & have things go her way - if this played out in the work place she'd just get fired. Defiance has it's place, but not when you intentionally cross boundaries. [/QUOTE]
