  • Here we go...again!

     mints 

    Yet again, we have another school making judements and not saying when they are wrong..So, please..read here: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/mint-suspended-school-161637649.html 

     

    Okay, check out my picture above..those are Altoids which are also mints and happen to look like unmarked pills. Now, when I was in high school many of my friends would chew on these after lunch or simply in class and they never, ever got in trouble..Sure, the things that the kids were chewing on were engergy mints but they clearly aren't anything illegal. In fact, I was drinking coffee when I was in high school which yeah, they never took away my coffee from me.

    Also, a blast from the past..anyone reading this remember Jolt cola- yeah, that was a big thing when I was in high school that stuff was spiked with caffiene and my band director drank it all the time. I mean seriously, how hard headed are we with kids today? So far this month alone we've had a peanut butter issue, issue over dress length and now an issue over mints..How far outta hand can we get with our kids? In this case, the school is clearly wrong and it has been proven that the mints were in fact mints but the kids are still suspended? That seems rather backwards to me..how about you as a school say you are wrong and allow the kids back in the school? What are you teaching the kids by not allowing them back into school when you as a school are clearly in the wrong here. Personally, I kinda hope this one doesn't go away and the parents do fight and even sue the school over this one..Just admit you are wrong and let the kids get back to learning! This is part of the issue with todays schools is that half the time no one can admit they are wrong and just want to continue on with life has if it never happened..yep, go school!
