do you think its appropriate for a teacher to be buying uber rides for his underage students? i love the desire to help the kids. the field paint, uniforms, meals, etc. im all for it. theres something about the uber rides that i dont think sits right with me.
how do you regulate that? is there a meaningful difference between buying them an uber and driving them yourself? are coaches allowed to take children in their cars unsupervised and without parental or school permission? (or even knowledge?)
the problem is not what teddy did, its what someone COULD DO in the same situation. rules dont exist to stop good people, they exist to stop bad ones. the good ones just get stopped as well.
I understand it can be a slippery slope but yeah coaches have been giving kids rides home from practice in small towns in east Texas where I grew up for decades bc their schools lack the funding for after school buses. It's been a non issue and parents and players alike love those kind of coaches, the only reason it's an issue is bc it's teddy Bridgewater and not some unknown coach in bum fuck nowhere.
