1. Yes, I believe that Jane Blackwell is just as guilty as the coach because if she knew about it then she should have stopped it. That's how it is for students too, if a kid knew that another kid was carrying a gun and didnt tell anyone they could be in just as much trouble as the kid with the gun.
2. No, I don't think the cheerleaders should get in trouble. Even though they were underage and drank alcohol they still weren't too blame like the coach and the principal were.
Yes I believe Jane Blackwell is because she was trying to hide that the coach was giving them beer, when they are under age. If she were to do the right thing if she knew the coach was giving them beer she should of told the police.
1)Yes the girls should get introuble they took the beer should have knowing the law they were drinking at their own risk. They did'nt say she forced them to drink it.
Question 1:I believe that Jane Blackwell is just as gulity as the coach. She knew about everything the whole time, and she never said anything.
Question 2: I do not think that the cheerleaders should get in trouble. Even though they were not old enough to be drinking, it's not like it was theres. Know one knows if they were drinking excessivly, or not anyways.
1. Jane Blackwell was definetly as guilty as the coach because she knew that the coach was giving beer to younger cheerleaders. There is no excuse for giving beer to minors. I Think JTC chose this article because this article was a way to show us that if we don't report a crime that we know about we are just as good as an accomplice in the crime. 2. The students should get in trouble because they could of not drank the beer is as much there fault as the coach giving them the beer. If I were one of the students offered the beer I would have refused and reported the coach for giving alcohal to minors.
Yes i belive that Jane Blackwell is just as guilty as the coach because she did know all about it. so she should of stoped it. But then again she probobly did not want to be involved in that issue.
yes the cheerleader should get introuble too because the coach offered them the beer and they did take it at their own risk.
1. I think that Jane Blackwell is guilty of trying to thwart the investigation but I don't thing she is as guilty as the coach. I think that, maybe, she was just trying to keep the media out as much as possible so it won't make her or the school look bad.
2. I think the cheerleaders should be punished for their actions because they should have said no but the coach was responsible for them and may have been an influence to the girls and the cheerleaders might have been confused on what to do.
There is not enough information to prove both Blackwell and Moore are guilty. The media has made both women look guilty which is unfair. The accused are always innocent until proven guilty.
If the scenario is true about the girls I believe they should be punished and maybe suspended from the school. I am not comfortable with judging people through a newspaper article.
1. Yes, i do believe that Jane Blackwell was as guilty as the coach. If Ms.Blackwell new about the coach giving the cheerleaders alchohol than it should have been stopped as soon as she heard about the alchohol in the school.
2. Yes I do believe that the students should get into trouble as well as the coach and the principal. The students could have chosen not to drink the beer, but instead they made the wrong decision and should be put in the same positon that the coach and principal were put in.
1. Yes I belive that the principle was wrong also because it was her responsibility to keep the kids safe.
2. Yes the students should get in trouble because they accepted the alchol.
Its truly amazing what our world is coming to isn't it?
1. Yes, of course Jane Blackwell is guilty because when she knew about the beer drinking she should have prevented it, but instead she decided to make the wrong decision and didn't talk about it.
2. Yes the cheerleaders should be blamed, because they knew they were drinking alcohol and they didn't even bother to stop drinking.
