  so true what has the world come to? :dunno.gif

The fights aren't like that LOL.  We have fights at our school alot, when that happens the our school deputy or security run to break it up and then they get 10days OSS automatically.  Now if something else happens like they cause a lifelong injury then all hell breaks loose.

Back in 8th grade I slit a kids eye open and he was bleeding everywhere.  I got 3days OSS and the only thing police related was that they had to call in the school deputy and just tell him. lol.

Dang they had school way back then.LOL

Ya things have really changed for the worse,problem called no discipline in our schools or homes.

..glad things have changed..i wouldnt trust any kid in this state with a shotgun at skool..thats just plain wakked

This world is screwed up all these new laws and rules only make it worse.

It is screwed up. Now kids just bottle everything up and gets a few guns and goes to school and takes their issues out on the whole school. Yep, looks like things are changing for the better. If  kid could get his azz beat a few times then he would change for the better.

thats what bein "politically correct" will get ya!

That is so true.  I actually work in the School Board now, and heard someone say in the ESE Dept, that if you were accident prone it was a sign of ADHD..... OMG what is this world coming too.  Now if you are caught day-dreaming in class, they call all the specialist to see if they have Attention Defiect.  Ah day, it is called being a kid....

thanks for the laugh!!! 8)

Need to print that one up and take it to school, ah hell, would probably be fired.....LOL

thats sad. i have a friend that was expelled 5 days ago cause he had been playing airsoft with his friends and forgot to take his gun outta the car. they checked it randomly and found it. now he is in a special school with the delinquents that have been addicted to drugs and all that crap. its a pretty screwed up society. all that happened cause he had a TOY gun. a TOY!!! crazy. 

Thats what i would call a bad jugdement call...

Not I, I would be at the next school board meeting raising some cane.

me too. they had several meetings with the administration and it took 12-14 days for them to come to a decision (he was suspended for those days too). now he is screwed over big time. he is a jr. too. probably gonna have to go to that special "criminal" school for 1.75 more years.
