Gov I am not judging you or anyone else but ethical behavior should be the foundation of any high school program in my opinion. We can not produce honest productive citizens without honest ethical role models. That is what all we public schools complain about with the open zoned schools and privates but justify it when it is our program.

There is so much red tape involved in everything these days.Just look at what happened to Bruce Pearl. The guy got fired for having a cookout. But people will respond to that by saying "but he lied about it!" Well my response to that is we shouldn't live in a society where people have to cover stuff like that up. You dont really have freedom when you dont have the power to decide who you give your money to and dont have the power to accept money that people want to give to you.

It's like these stories about college boosters helping players out. If they want to do that it should be their business. It shouldn't be a media scandal that they talk about on the sports animal for 6 weeks and have Roger give his spin on things

 

Actually, Pearl was fired for lying to his bosses, lying to the NCAA not once, but twice, conspiring with and encouraging those whom he was charged with supervising (his assistant coaches) to lie to cover his lies.

 

Try that with your bosses and see how long you last in your job.  

 

If he admits that he broke the rule the first, or even the second time, it was nothing more than a slap on the wrist infraction and all is well with him in terms of his job at UT.  He chose to make a mountain out of a mole hill.  It was all on Bruce Pearl.  

 

Neither ignorance of nor disdain for rules is an excuse for breaking them, nor is it an example to set for those who look up to you.  If you don't like rules, lobby for them to be changed if you have the power to do it, but don't break them.
