Theft is theft, even if under the pretext of "borrowing". It cannot and
should not be tolerated, not by a student, and certainly not by an
adult. Were my daughter's instrument, or any part of it, deliberately
"borrowed" by another student without express permission, that student
would be making her explanations to the dean of students or the
principal, and I would be paying a personal visit to the student's
parents. An adult doing the same thing would be explaining to the
police. From what I see below, it looks to me like this band director's
lack of ethical guidance is continuing to bear fruit...
