Being a Crutch/Enabler to a Special Ed. Student...

I have a hard-set rule for my cheerleaders: get suspended, you're off the team.  No questions asked, no second chances.  They are representing the school (and thereby ME) every time they put on that uniform, so they need to represent it all the time.  And, like a lady.

One of the girls who made the squad for next year just got suspended.  Since she is not technically on the squad yet, I can't kick her off.  Her special Ed. case carrier came to me to discuss this girl.  When I told her that she cannot get suspended at all next year, she asked if it was just like one suspension per quarter.  When I responded "NO SUSPENSIONS - ALL YEAR!"  Instead of a response like "they shouldn't be getting suspended" or "Yeah - great rule!" she said "wow, that is a tough rule."  (she then proceeded to tell me that she "has seen a lot of growth & maturity between this suspension and her last few"...looking forward to an awesome year.)  WOW??? WTF?  Not wow, they should not be getting suspended.  Talk about being a crutch and an enabler for this girl.......
