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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What are AirPods?

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

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

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

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