I certainly wouldn't disagree.

The cheerleading program is part of the overall school program and she has responsibility for it.

Look in the dictionary under terribly misplaced priorities and you'll probably find pictures of this woman and "her" cheerleaders.

Wasn't there in incident in Texas a few years ago where a mother tried to take out a contract on someone else's daughter because hers didn't make the cheerleading squad?

Ugh!

Do you mean:

'In 1991, Wanda Holloway asked her brother-in-law to hire a hitman to kill the mother of a girl who was competing with her daughter for a spot on the same Texas cheerleading squad. Holloway wanted the mother killed because she determined the competing girl would be so upset by the murder of her mother that she would drop out of the competition. Both girls were thirteen at the time of the plot.
She is known as the "Texas-Cheerleader-Murdering-Mom."'

Holly Hunter starred in a movie based on this story.

Well, it seems like it would be hard to any of the five to get a hometown rec. anyway.

I think that the parents are to blame more than the school although the school didn't handle things well either.

You can turn out to be a decent person even if your high school administrators are idiots as long as your parents showed you right from wrong.

On the other hand, it's hard not to turn out to be a jerk if your parents reared you to believe that the only values are your individual rights and "success," which is another idea from the report.

It's a perfect storm of suburban affluenza, indifference, and irresponsibility.

Wikipedia has a Glenbrook North entry:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenbro...th_High_School.
At least in that case the suspensions stuck, it seems. (I can't decide which is sadder. The fact that an apparently decent high school will always be remembered for the hazing incident or the person who wrote up the debate section of the entry, not that three national championships in a single year isn't an accomplishment.)
