Last week a girl in my daughters class accidentally dropped her AirPods

Yep.

No question.

If it ends there, I would let it go but if there is anything more

Yes, but if she broke them, she should also pay for them

dryflyelk

Yep. Even if it was an accident I'd pay for them.

That's absurd if they were truly on the ground. Never know if the daughter is

I'd still offer to pay. Hopefully the person who dropped them would decline but if they didn't that's okay too

Slim

I agree. There's a lot of things I could go to hades over, but

People and my relationships with them will nearly always be more important to me than money

100% agree with this statement.

With kids you won’t see after 2 more years & is unstable anyway..nope. Do not

Outrage culture? Nah man. In real life I always try and error on the side of being "too nice"

Slim

2/5/20 12:33pm

That's reasonable. But also reasonable, depending on the financial situation of

Not if they were on the ground. That’s the owner’s problem.

Samsonite

2/5/20 12:03pm

Correct and if I had dropped them I wouldn't expect someone who stepped on them to pay

I'd offer to pay for half, if they hadn't bullied her and robbed her.

I'd find a free pair of non-functioning airpods, drop them in front of the girl

rcbyufan

2/5/20 12:23pm

Heck yes, that is bullying. I would not accept that.

For sure but mostly to the girls parents.

School will never really do much. If she has parents that care...that's where

Definitely

As presented, this is clearly the story of a mugging on school property. If it were my daughter, however,

Byron McNertney

Yeah.. bummer for your kid to have to deal with that stuff

cougfanz

I would go to the administration and maybe the police.

Boanerges

2/5/20 12:14pm

What are AirPods?

Mitty

2/5/20 12:31pm

Yes I would go to the administration...

CoachSpeak

2/5/20 12:39pm

That said I probably would have offered to pay for them upfront...

CoachSpeak

2/5/20 12:42pm

I'm surprised at how many people feel she should pay for them. If I am on

Banjo Blues

2/5/20 12:43pm

Every school I know has the kids sign a release of liability

Boanerges

2/5/20 12:44pm

Let me clarify. Should the stepper be held financially responsible? No. Would I offer to pay anyway if I was the stepper

Slim

2/5/20 12:46pm

I mean it with all sincerity, you have a much better attitude about it than I do

Banjo Blues

2/5/20 12:50pm

Pretty much my take as well.

CoachSpeak

2/5/20 1:13pm

I don't think anyone thinks she is responsible to pay...

CoachSpeak

2/5/20 1:08pm

I'm a jerk.

My sons once hit a foul ball at baseball practice that broke the windshield of a

I feel differently about that. Maybe my hangup is how

Boanerges

2/5/20 1:37pm

Of course, I'm talking about how I think it should have been handled up front...

CoachSpeak

2/5/20 1:46pm

I know this isn’t the point, but I lost my AirPods and still have the charger case

I wish my daughter would have been by her side. She'd have grabbed the closest

Yes, contact admin immediately.
