[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear OP - is there some kind of a student honor council in your school, where people are brought to for cheating?  I could file a complaint there after informing the coach that you intend to pursue that route.  Copy the school principal and the assistant principal on the letter of complaint which should include all the emails as well as what your daughter was told in person.  You should interview your daughter about the sequence of events, and save it in a dated e-stamped document, to make contemporaneous testimony.

Save this post, too.  It is timed and dated.

I would, without a doubt, encourage your daughter to quit the team.  If the school does the right thing, the team should be disbanded for the season anyway after this event is made public, or at least the JV should be.  The two girls who organized the prank should be made ineligible for school sports, with a note on their transcripts.  I would not accept anything less as a parent.  If those or similar terms are not met, I would contact the news media .

Also, do not hesitate to contact the celebrity athlete in question.  I would fully expect that he or she would want to vindicate the situation.[/quote]

This is over the top and vindictive.  Yes, it was horribly cruel, but the girls involved are nonetheless kids without fully developed brains.  It’s one thing to bench them from a few games and another to try to keep them out of college.[/quote]

DP. Even if it's true that kicking them off the team (with a note about why) is enough to keep them out of college, what is wrong with that? They're little witches. Why does OP owe them entry to the college of their choice? You think their colleges would want them if they knew their personalities? And by behaving the way they have been, they are the ones trying to get OP's DD to quit the team and potentially reduce HER chances at admission to a college of her choice.

There's nothing wrong with pushing for consequences. Would you say that a boy who attacked a girl shouldn't be reported because we don't want to affect his chance at college applications?

Bullying is totally out of control, and people tolerating it is what lets it stay that way.[/quote]
