I really can't describe how sad this whole story makes me

lajimi: I'm sorry I have to sue the school district, the school board and you personally into poverty but IT'S MY POLICY!

Oh to be a tort lawyer in this day and age.

Like I say in every single one of these threads, the whole point of these policies is to make it difficult to sue them. When a teacher or administrator has no choice in a matter, it's hard to show they were negligent.

Dead for Tax Reasons: they should arrest the administrator next time he uses the bathroom for exposing himself and having his penis in his hand

Win: Thread over

When did "it's our policy" become a defense for these kinds of things, any way? No matter where you look these days, there's always some asshat defending an indefensible action by saying, "Don't blame me, it's our policy." WTF, man?

It was adderall, clearly this kid didn't want to do good in school.

Third comment in TFA nails it:

Another example of how zero-tolerance is an excuse for petty bureaucrats to not have to think, and not have to take real responsibility for their decisions.

Does the teacher who confiscates the drugs get suspended as well?

I love that it's not like crack or pot either, but an ADHD drug, that's causing them all to freak out.

BunkyBrewman: The assistant principal also touched the drugs. This asshole should be suspended without pay. Zero tolerance means zero tolerance.

I really have to refresh before I post...

It's the American way: deny self-responsibility. Honestly, I'm farking sick and tired of that kind of attitude towards life. Not only does it make you look like a total dickwad, you're essentially dis-empowering yourself. It's a one-two punch.

I'm very tempted to homeschool my kid, and have him 'socialize' with other kids by sending him to daycare. Fortunately, right now, he SEEMS to be in a pretty damn good school.

Gestahl ist gestahl has been around for awhile. How could you not see that?

Well, that's certainly sending the right message to the girl that refused. Morans. Friggin morans.

Adjective Bird Whiskey: This is why we hired you. When it's time to make the tough decisions, the real ones, the ones that really will affect a child's future...we can't find you. Or you mutter something and look at your shoes. When the going gets tough, you refer people to the school system's lawyer. But by god, if there is a man in this room who will suspend the fark out of some kid for an asinine reason, it's you. I wish I were gay so I could fark you. That's how turned on I am right now. This is why we hired you.

Except it isn't.

If the admin did the right thing, and gave the girl an honor of some sort for her actions, he could have been fired.

The culprits here are the school board who made such a stupid rule in the first place.

"...And this is going on your PERMANENT RECORD, young lady!"

I wish someone would walk into my room with a bag full of pills.


Seriously, can I have some Adderall please? Last time I got a hold of some I was able to study for a final for thirty six hours straight and aced it.

jayhawk88: I love that it's not like crack or pot either, but an ADHD drug, that's causing them all to freak out.

You do know that it is an amphetamine, right?

I'd be less worried if it WAS pot.

BunkyBrewman: The assistant principal also touched the drugs. This asshole should be suspended without pay. Zero tolerance means zero tolerance.

THIS!!!!!! Without exception!

Leishu: If the admin did the right thing, and gave the girl an honor of some sort for her actions did nothing to the girl that refused the drug, he could have been fired using common sense.


FTFY. OMFG! He had a knife in the cafeteria!! A plastic knife!! And he could have stabbed someone with that plastic fork!

Let this be a lesson kids. Always narc on your friends. Maybe you'll get a lighter punishment (from the administration).

Story time: Some of the kids in a class behind mine thought it would be fun to meet up at school, then spray paint/graffiti one of the buildings. The damage was obvious, but the perps were not (they were smart enough to keep it to themselves). The principal put the screws to a couple likely suspects. One of them confessed (but didn't rat out the others). Naturally, he got the full punishment while the rest got zilch. Conclusion: Everyone else is a douche.

It's crazy yes, but legally it can hold up.

A lawyer once told me that even if I am handed drugs that are concealed, and I don't know about it I can still be charged, and found guilty of a felony.

As someone with a bottle of Adderall in my desk drawer here at work, I'm getting a kick out of this...

(And Yeah, its a legal prescription...)

So what this girl just learned is that she may as well take the drug, because her NOT taking the drug resulted in the exact same punishment.

/he also loved to yodel

And now that I've said that, if that was my daughter, I'd tell her, okay, you're suspended for a week. How about a week at Disneyland, as a reward for your outstanding decision?

my name has never been more relevant

Here's the email addy for the PR flak for the d­ist­ri­cteboj­orquezs­c­g­k­12in­us

I also CC'd the school board members to tell them what a bunch of dick-smoking, ass-smelling, dirty douche nozzles I thought they were.....

ok, not really, but I did send them emails telling them how utterly stupid this was....

el wharrrgarblo: THIS! Do we have this dickwads email by any chance? I think he needs to get an email or 1000

So if I touch a gun, I'm still an accomplice to murder?

Touch a car? Carjacking?

God, Idiocracy seems closer to reality at this point
