So why should a student who works hard (practice, raffles, ect.) be punished differently than one who just goes to school? Mabye a student who gets caught drinking or smoking should be kicked out of school for a week. This is a much more fair and equal punishment for all students.
Because it is not against the rules of the school if you go out and drink on the weekends....it is against the rules of sports if you do that. Therefore, no punishment for school(didnt break school rules) whereas there is punishment for sports (against the rules)
If you do not want to abide by the rules, then you do not have to play.
