Private Christian School gone too far? // Current

The school should have no rights over what the pupil does outside school time.
Depending on how the timing worked out with all this, the "statement of co-operation" may very well be a gratuitous promise and therefore unenforceable. However, I'm no lawyer, and I don't know exactly what was in the original agreement between the school and the parents in which tuition changed hands."Frost, a senior at Heritage Christian School in northwest Ohio, agreed to the school's rules when he signed a statement of cooperation at the beginning of the year, principal Tim England said."
He still has the choice.
Yeah... I think that's odd: they approve of the prom enough to give permission, but disapprove of it enough to suspend him if he goes. That doesn't seem consistent.This is bull. The kids signed an agreement to abide by their rules, yes, but to enforce rules in a school to outside the realm of that school is absurd. AND the boy was required to obtain permission, in the form of a signed written permission slip, from the principal of his current school, before being allowed to attend the prom in the first place. The principal of the Baptist school signed the permission form. Permission was given. I think it pretty freakin lame to say "Yes, I give my permission to go to the prom, but if you go I'll suspend you and give you incompletes and deny you attending your own graduation...but you can go to the prom." That's cruelty and bs through and through. but then, I guess what else can be expected from such a school huh?
Makes sense to me. The principal allows the student a choice, but not without consequences. Without the principal's permission, the kid can't go at all. The principal grants that permission, to satisfy the requirements of the girlfriend's high school. Now the boy has a choice. However, if he chooses to go to prom, he faces consequences back at his own school.Yeah... I think that's odd: they approve of the prom enough to give permission, but disapprove of it enough to suspend him if he goes. That doesn't seem consistent.

"In life, we constantly make decisions whether we are going to please self or please God. (Frost) chose one path, and the school committee chose the other," England said.
I don't understand it, either. I agree that the school's position is idiotic, but they certainly have the right to take that position. In fact, it's the position I would expect them to take.I am trying to understand why so many would even have a problem with this.
