i do applaud the shawnee mission school district for sticking to their policy regardless of who is involved. i suppose their is no way to prove this, but i just don't believe it really prevents kids from drinking. i'm wondering if anyone has anonymous surveys from shawnee mission students and a couple other school districts to see if we have much of a difference. lots of schools give these types of surveys out so i'm sure they exist, unfortunately we probably cannot get our hands on the data. i suppose all policies are fair so long as they are presented before the season and the policy is kept. so i'm not arguing that whether or not the shawnee mission policy is fair, just whether or not its the absolute best for kids. it seems most of you are not in agreement with me so perhaps you are right. i really wish we had the data to compare between school districts, even if it didn't support me it would be interesting and i suppose i could probably be convinced the other way if it did not support me. in the end i think we're all on the same page in that we want to see less kids drink, do whats best for kids, and see our athletes on field/mat/court competing and following the rules away from the place of competition. i think i've made my points on this topic so unless something completely knew is presented i'll probably shut up about it. about everyone who posted on here made a lot of good points, good discussion, hopefully no incidents will come up to make a discussion like this seem nessasary the rest of wrestling season.
