By the same token, you do get problematic situations like the one Shane describes where you have basically good kids who suffer harsh punishments that can seem unjust. Laws are cut and dry; life is gray. Some situations get really tricky because of this.Jessie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11321393297912007596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-49662865697756499612008-02-24T22:19:00.000-05:002008-02-24T22:19:00.000-05:00Walter, I have seen this time and time again.

I have a kid that got OSS for 10 days for having a hunting bow in his truck that he was dropping off for his grandfather to be re-strung. Keep in mind that it had no string on it, nor any arrows. The new assistant principal (which is now fired) is the one who persued all of this and it was kind of unjust seeing as how we have archery class at school to start with. The principal was walking the lot inspecting cars for his own benifit when he found this. I went to the principal after the kid got out of jail and spoke with her, she allowed him to make up his work during OSS. This kid went from never ever even having so much as a detention from K all the way to 12th, to becoming now a possible felon all due to a bad call by an Ass istant principal.<BR/><BR/>On another note, I have also seen this used in the wrong manner and I dont agree with it. I think it is totally situation dependant.Shane C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12138453694406857474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-83895336548691915542008-02-24T19:38:00.000-05:002008-02-24T19:38:00.000-05:00That is so wrong, Walter!

What does administration think they are teaching kids by changing the rules at their whim??Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06734836682256566046noreply@blogger.com
