[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School Board and Court denied her being able to play at Independence. She says she was bullied at Lightridge, but there's no real known evidence.[/quote] If she was bullied why didn't she choose to go to a school much closer to where she lives (ie John Champe, Freedom, etc.)? Instead chose the school that made it to the state finals in lacrosse last year. My DD is friends with several girls on the Lightridge lacrosse team and they are pretty adamant that this is purely a desire to move to a better team team.[/quote] Not sure you’re familiar with the area but we previously lived in that area and Champe and Independence (there are cut throughs across rt. 50 to it) would be close to equally distant depending where she lived in the Lightridge zone, and Freedom farther. Not to mention the article said she had friends at Independence so a built in support system would be important if she was having social struggles affecting her mental health at Lightridge. I think we can all agree on that as parents. And since the girls who started the Lightridge team are now seniors I’d imagine they’d be similar in strength to Independence by this point. As far as what the girls are saying, if you’re a parent of teenagers you know that of course they all have opinions and not all of the facts unless they were directly involved. Regardless it’s ridiculous and a slippery slope to question the mental health of a teenage girl who wants to switch schools for her senior year-that’s not the norm. If she wanted a guarantee to win some sort of championship she probably would have switched to PVI. But it’s like a victim of assault—what teenage girl would really subject herself to this if she wasn’t struggling at her school. I also think it’s horrible a kid’s name was used from Lightridge and that the team as a whole has now been insinuated as bullies. Not sure why the school board dug their heels in sadly making this worse for all of the girls. They’ve also now set a precedent that if you’re struggling with mental health issues or bullying and you need to transfer schools that you can’t participate in sports and extracurriculars that are documented to help with mental health. Sad all around.[/quote] Indy was ranked 16th by MaxPreps, Lightridge in the 30s. They've not set any sort of precedence, Lauren. That dog isn't going to hunt. I see you making that argument in other forums and the like, but that's not a factual interpretation of what's happening here. And how dare you complain about mental illness and allow your lawyer to make unsubstantiated accusations on the courthouse steps about another child? By name?[/quote]
