no, this judge strikes me as a hanging judge.. i think they would get the same or worse HAD they came before this judge..Originally Posted by breezy
besides,in your scenario,the student would never had been put in front of the judge.. they get a free pass from the get go.

in one of the videos when asked if something could be done to change the ruling he said, paraphrasing: "i dont know,i have not thought about it,it would make me soft"..

Won't be long before judges such as this start meeting their Maker a lot sooner than later. Mark my words.
Seems like some responsible adult, one of her teachers maybe, should have stood and helped this girl.
Maybe she should have been tased...3 times. Yeah that would have taught her a good 'ole lesson!
Bastard!

I believe that she should consider quitting high school and just take classes at the community college that should remove the truancy issue that the judge seems hung up on. I would also make it a point with the local news media and anywhere else that I could that the reason I quit high school was because a judge and school with no common sense drove me out.

These days a High School diploma isn't worth squat. I actually believed my teachers horror stories that if I dropped out and got my GED I wouldn't have the opportunities someone with a highschool diploma would have. It flat out wasn't true.
Today I have a middle class life and am (finally) working my way through college. No one ever blinked an eye at the GED.
MY advice to this girl would simple sign out of school, get your GED and continue with your college classes.

why not put her parents in jail instead....

Lets make an example of overachievers, do not excel, all nails must be flush with the wood.

I agree. I quit HS a few weeks into 10th grade after an argument in history class with an ignorant teacher. I had read the entire text book and it was evident she hadn't. An early liberal under Carter.
My parents said I had to do something so I went to haircutting school. Graduated and decided to join the AF. Recruiter wouldn't pay attention to me because a female had to score super high on the ASVAB to enlist with a GED and I didn't even have that yet. So I went and took it cold and passed. Took the ASVAB with a female college graduate that cried all the way home in the recruiters car. He had such high hopes for her. She failed it miserably and I almost aced it. Missed by one question.
By the way she glared at me (they gave her a waiver to join) and the way the recruiter acted I should have known better than to enlist. But, I thought it was an honorable thing to do so I did.
I eventually paid myself for the degree I wanted. I agree. This girl should quit, get her GED and tell the school to stuff it. With her responsibility she clealy qualifies for becoming an emancipated minor.

That is roughly the same path I took. The Airforce didn't like that I had a GED but the Army was more then happy to take me after seeing my ASVAB scores. Twelve years later I am doing better then most of the people that I went to school with and put up with its foolishness to graduate and get the coveted "High School Diploma".
Today prospective Employers see my DD214's and College and don't really pay attention to the "GED" on my application. In general I make anywhere from 30-40 grand more a year if not more then most of the people I still talk to that I went to school with.

my guess, given the fact that she is taking AP courses, is that she is going for a full academic ride at a better college.. things like just getting your GED, or even this arrest, can SEVERELY hamper those efforts..
i really dont mean to make her out to be a academic snob, but quitting school and going to community college would be taking a huge step back for this young lady (not to mention the fact that she would probably have to go in debt taking that route).. she would appear to be already on a much higher road than that..
