Suspended for possession

[moot]

What a load of red tape... Just confiscate the candy and put a bad mark on his report card.

there are too many idiots making too many rules.

"land of the free and home of the brave" are just words to some song they play before the "big" game.


wellcome to the United Nanny States of America.

What next? Teenage girls exchaning sexual favours for M&Ms?

[SD67]

Bah, teenage girls were trading sexual favours back when I was at school.

Quite a freedom you got there. Over here we have candy and soda automats at school. Nobody could care less if kids would be selling candy to each other. Of course there's limits to WHEN it's acceptable to munch candy, but violating the rule is not punishable by suspension.

Suspending even for half a day for having candy or selling it to other student is stupid. OF COURSE kids do have candy and they will have it even if they'd be thrown to jail for it.

...or are they trying to teach the students how to sell crack under the scope? That could come handy in the future; Once you get out of school you're already a fully qualified crack dealer who knows all the tricks.

Lol... surprised the kid didn't get his gun from his locker.

consequences?  3 day suspension over a bag of skittles?  On one hand, I understand the policy, but a 3 day suspension is a level 3 offence or higher in our district. Give the kid a choice between 3 licks or one day of in-school suspension.

Y'all still give licks? Would be nice if they did that here.

LMAO.  In HS, we had a single vending machine.   The slot in which the 3 Musketeers bars were in was malfunctioning all of the time.   I'd put $.35 in and get the whole row of bars.   I'd sell em for $.35 to my buddies and did it for 5 months.   We'd often tell anyone who would listen that the slot was broken as you'd put in the money and get the whole row.

Then, a teacher approached me about charges.   I said "Go for it, Please I implore you to do that.   We've told the Principal, various teachers, custodians and they ignored us."    Never heard from anyone again.   The slot was fixed shortly thereafter.

Its better the kid learns to pick and choose what rules he feels like following...that way, he'll be all set for adulthood

When you buy Skittles, you're supporting terrorism.

I agree.  A regular part of my adulthood has been spent pushing the limits of or working around stupid pointless rules.  I don't think I'm alone in that.
