I can't believe I'm reading this....
If this were the rule of conduct back in our Catholic Grammar School almost every single girl in our class of 75 would have been suspended... AND we were doing them on our CONCRETE PARKING LOT playground!
And all this in LA??? I think they've got more serious problems on their hands than a cartwheel-turner!
Yet another reason we choose to homeschool...
I do agree that the girl should have been reprimanded if she repeatedly disobeyed a reasonable request... however, do we know she was attempting these tricks in a crowded area where there is risk to students? One of the school officials stated others may want to try to repeat her actions...
If she was performing the gymnastics stunts during recess and in an appropriate area and was behaving in a responsible manner in regards to others around her - then perhaps the school administrators requests were unreasonable and perhaps we should be commending the girl for her spirit and conviction instead...
Heck I don't know - I just can't believe this is even an issue...
