I definately think parents should be responsible for their children..... but "underage drinking" is lame.... Almost every "normal" kid has had a few drinks or attended a drinking party....big deal.....
It seems like everything gets sooooo blown out of proportion these days......
I think the entire chicago thing got out of hand due to some Sue happy parents..... that same event had been going on for years... just like some fraternity hazings...... nothing too horrible.... not real neat, but not horrible. Didn't they smear dog shit on people??? and hit them here and there??

I am only really talking about "under age drinking" (not murder, etc...) ... it used to be punishable by a $75.00 fine and you took a goofy class about alcoholism... now kids lose their drivers licenses' for 90 days...... and apparently whatever your school feels like dishing out...
Getting underage drinking will not impair the ability of a child to do his/her duties at school....... (unless they are drunk at school, which is a totally different situation).
This is like the dickhead guy who drives in the left lane at exactly 65mph to try to stop the speeders..... but instead it is the school who is attempting to be the dickhead.....
As for that Chicago thing...... didn't everyone one of those girls in attendence know what was going to happen to them???? They all knew the year before the same exact thing happened.....no one forced them to go, or forced them to stay...... their parents turned it into a mountain in some lame effort to pretend to care about their kids (stereotyping).

If they were drinking on school property, or coming to school drunk, sure, it should be the schools problem.
If they're doing it off school grounds, I don't see how it can be their problem.

blah blah blah blah...speculation..heres the rules at my school..the same goes for all schools in texas.
according to my school student code of conduct, "the district has disciplinary authority over a stuent: ... 7. When a student commits a felongy, as provided by Texas Education Code 37.006 and 37.0081 and 8. When criminal mischeif is committed on or off school property"
to enter public school here you must sign an agreement with the entire code of conduct.
