The school can’t or won’t comment on what happened, given she’s a child and all, so we don’t really know. The school would not just drop a top-tier student in the middle of the year over some perceived slight.

Is this your first run in with Catholic schools? Asking as someone who went to Catholic school from pre-K through college.

In the current climate, they'll drop students for a single uniform infraction. This is a case of the student spitting in their face, and yes, they absolutely would just drop a student over a perceived slight.

(I was in the Catholic school system from Kindergarten through my senior year in the 80s/90s, and even back then, students would vanish for things that made zero sense.)

Wow. My daughter went to one for a few years and she was a huge pain in their ass, and I’m amazed that they didn’t kick her out many times over. We paid full price, though…

Yeah, I suspect the scholarship played into this. Regardless it's a shit call to make.

If that really is the call. Maybe she rejected the advances of the wrong gym teacher, with the lack of transparency and one side of the story we’ll probably never know, but there’s got to be more to it than this. Even if they just wanted to take her scholarship money and give it to someone else.

Maybe. Maybe her parents refused to participate in every PTA function. Maybe she missed an assembly or sport event outside of school hours. You're right, we'll never really know.
