Egad, ChiKat. Does he at least have a chance of coming back next year?

Because books.
But why did they expel him after all the suspension? That's absurd. Poor kid.

I went from laughing hysterically to thinking, "Hey, this is actually a pretty good idea!" Sent the link to DW and she said, "Is this real?" Hee!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Unfortunately, he will probably be back next year. I say "unfortunately" because he's an 8th grader and should be going to the high school. But because of this, he probably won't be promoted because he won't finish 8th grade.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Those zero tolerance policies really should have exception clauses.
CJ's current teacher laughed at me when I asked if he could bring some cough drops to school with him - he was getting over a cold and had a lingering cough. In California he could have gotten in trouble for "bringing drugs to school".

His violation was bringing a small pocket knife to school which translates to weapon. He forgot it was in his pocket and hid it in his wallet and put it in his locker.
A kid should be able to take their pocket knife to the Nurse's office or something if that happens. Sheesh.

They probably do if you're the captain of a winning football team.

Those zero tolerance policies really should have exception clauses.
In one case here, an honor student got a fairly lengthly suspension because her mother packed two identical lunches, except that she put a knife to cut up the apple in hers. The daughter accidentally picked up her mother's lunch, and the moment she realized it, she took the knife to her teacher. In another one, a girl gave two Midol to another girl.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I was in high school, I sometimes needed Tylenol or Advil during the school day. I wasn't allowed to carry it with me, and there was some issue that I don't remember with keeping it at the nurse's office, so there were a few times I ended up going home sick with pain that could have been managable with OTC drugs.

I had a sore throat, so wanted to have some chloraseptic at school. It was a huge production.

I remember my Middle School having a policy where even inhalers had to be kept in the nurse's office. It was routinely ignored. By the nurse.
