I understand from both sides...but I honestly think people are getting the wrong idea from what the parents concerns are. If this trip was chaperoned and supervised, why was it possible for the child to obtain alcohol. Obviously he was not being watched. I agree that the student should be held accountable to the fullest, but at the same time there needs to be better supervision from the school appointed chaperons. If it were my son, I'd punish him certainly and then properly would want to put my foot up the bottom of the supervisors. This student could have ended up in a worst situation.
