Teen pleads guilty to assault during soccer brawl

Story: Teen pleads guilty to assault during soccer brawl

I think the band Survivor once wrote a song about how easy it is to get caught up in the moment of victory. Their goal was more for training montages, I don't think they had in mind high school soccer players kicking other kids to death in the head over and over again. Yes, cleats are considered a deadly weapon, and that my friends, is assault. I feel bad for the poor mom who thought soccer would be a safer alternative than football for her son.

Chicago plans to open gay high school

Story: Gay high school planned

Rather than educate students and embrace sexual tolerance, they feel the best way to solve the problem of students making "gay" comments is by giving these teens their own school. Chicago also has plans to open separate high schools for 'fat kids only,' 'Nintendo nerds only,' and 'kids with dandruff and acne problems only.' Once we have completely isolated everyone with a difference, we will finally be able to create a world that is close-minded and ignorant of everything. The good news? They are going to have the best musicals!

Dress code required at football games

Story: Montgomery school dress code required at games

Fans wearing flip-flops and 2Pac shirts were becoming too much to handle for stadium security. This new ban also applies to the visiting side. So somehow this school will have to inform all fans from around the state that you can't wear regular street clothes to their games. In fact, they replaced the scoreboard with a huge sign that reads, "Gentlemen Only." This is the first step in a long-term plan that will eventually eliminate cheering, and keeping score.

N.Y. Schools Begin Tracking Obesity Levels

Story: N.Y. Begins Tracking Obesity Levels in Some Schools

One more thing for teens to be stressed out about in school. Now we can actually give them a concrete number to support their subconscious beliefs about gaining weight. Measuring BMI will in no way effect the self-esteem of skinny kids. How about this for research...take a look kids with their shirts off, realize they are chubbier than kids 20 years ago, then put some money back into physical education in schools. Or just ask any doctor about the skyrocketing rates of diabetes in children. Just save the embarrassment of forcing kids to step on scales before they walk into class.

Bus drivers crash, cuss, abuse and lose

Crazy! School bus drivers can't get it right today!

It all started when a New York driver got lost before school and took a busload to students on a 4 1/2 hour detour! For those not great in math, that is more than half of school day kids spent as the driver was trying to figure things out. While he was busy getting lost, a Connecticut driver had his feet kicked up at home, not realizing he left a girl on the bus for the second time! Luckily, it was only the first time for an Indiana driver who did the same thing! Parents love hearing that their 4 and 5-year old sons or daughters are trapped unsupervised inside a school bus at some parking lot. At least they were safe, which was more than the dozen kids in Colorado can say after smashing into the back of a semi. I can see how huge trucks can get overlooked while you're driving. Unless, like the DC bus aide, he was too busy sexually assaulting special needs girls on the bus. Hope you're proud of yourself man! Too bad the Kansas driver who made suggestive comments to the last girl on the bus didn't get the memo that this behavior is completely unacceptable. Oh, and the driver who fought two students in Tennessee might also want to bone up on school bus etiquette.

So wow! A lot in the world of school buses today. Who would have thought the kids don't even have to get to school before the trouble starts? Apparently it's not hard to pass your CDL test nowadays.

Boy, 8, hands out hundreds in fake $20 bills

$50 dollar bill! $50 dollar bill!

Story: Boy, 8, hands out pile of $20 bills - all fake

Let's talk about trickle down effect for a minute. The boy steals money from his parents, who already have warrants out and a collection of felonies. The parents are now facing more criminal charges for counterfeit money. When they get the chance, they're gonna whoop the kids ass for taking these fake bills to school. Then they'll lose custody, and most likely be breaking parole in the process. So who is the winner here? The 2nd grade math teachers who will be able to skip the money chapter in their lesson plans.

Teen arrested after school threat on Facebook

"Summer dreams, ripped at the seams."

Story: NY teen arrested after school threat on Facebook

The reason behind threatening to "kill everyone in the school?" To extend her summer vacation. It's a tall order to take out an entire school, especially for an honor student with no history of violent behavior. But you got your wish sweetheart, you didn't have to go back to class on the first day. So now she can add a criminal record to her list of fun things she accomplished during her wonderful summer break.

Teacher accused of teaching class while drunk

Story: San Jose teacher accused of teaching class while intoxicated

I would say blood-alcohol level of .16 constitutes being drunk. So maybe her Happy Hour starts at 7am when she lines up a couple shots of Wild Turkey whiskey. This is definitely a great learning environment for elementary school students. The class was tipped off to her behavior when she began throwing things across the room during a rage that started because she just wanted a slice of pizza to eat.

School employee arrested with gun in backpack

Wait a second...this isn't Texas! Sometimes instead of packing a lunch, I prefer to pack heat. It's no accident when you arrive on campus with a .380 handgun and 12 rounds of ammunition.

School suspends over 20 for tribute shirts

Story: Local ACLU Joins Millard South Shirt Fight

Every day more and more students are facing 1-3 day suspensions for wearing a t-shirt that pays tribute to a classmate who passed away. Since it is well within the administrators rights to decide when and where teens can grieve and memorialize a friend, they plan to continue punishing these children for "disrupting the learning environment." On the other hand, the ACLU sees nothing offensive or distracting about the shirts, and plans to fight this case. In a related note, the school principal plans to spit on the grave of the fallen boy.

Strikes, Protests Hit Schools Like Wild Fire!

Schools everywhere hit with student, teacher strikes

It was the first day of school for millions across the country. But for thousands and thousands, strikes and protests prevented this day from going smoothly. Over 1000 Chicago students protested unbalanced funding in poorer neighborhoods by skipping school and showing up at the wealthier one instead. Some schools near Seattle had to be canceled altogether because of a teacher strike. The same thing is happening near Pittsburgh because of a wage dispute that doesn't appear to have a close ending in sight. Across the state outside Philadelphia, contract problems are looming and forced 7,000 students to not start class as scheduled. Detroit avoided a near-miss, but could have a rough ride in next 30 days if disagreements don't get resolved. So what is to be learned by all this? That the American public is completely satisfied with the current state of education.
