Story: Teacher arrested for molesting 4-year-old
Sorry sweetheart. Unfortunately you won't be getting the same kind of moral support as the "Freedom Writers" lady. We are just gonna have to file this one under another Florida teacher who has absolutely no concept of how to behave sexually around children.

Story: Teacher banned for using 'Freedom Writers' book
Here are the facts: 149 out of 150 parents signed a permission slip to have the book taught. The administration, however, feels that inspiring inner-city kids to achieve goals is not high on the priority list. They would rather prove a point by letting teachers know who is really in charge. Oh, and here's a little irony for you- the book is in the schools library!

Story: Man dressed as penis disrupts graduation
You have schools that lock out people from getting into the graduation, but somehow a guy in a huge penis outfit gets through security at this one. It was later rumored he was chasing after a girl dressed as a big vagina, but they found her in the bathroom crying about something.

Racial prank changes names in yearbook

Story: Charter Oak students upset by racial prank
One yearbook editor's idea of humor is changing the names of the students in the Black Union to fake, borderline derogatory "ghetto" names." Don't schools have advisor's who should be overlooking anything before it goes into print? At a school that is less than 5% black, these aren't the kind of jokes that are going to be forgotten.

The girl had no idea why none of the little black boys or girls would play with her. The mom on the other hand, was irate that her daughter threw a fit when she refused to wear her Klan garbs to school. So instead she went with Plan B, an offensive shirt that the girl really doesn't understand, but will be criticized and punished for.

Rhode Island School to Begin Microchipping Students

Story: School District to Begin Microchipping Students
They want to track kids getting on and off buses by putting chips in everyone's back pack. This way parents and teachers will always know the exact location of every student. They also plan to constantly transmit signals and subliminal messages telling children to "CONSUME." Oh, and RoboCop will be enforcing attendance when kids are caught where they shouldn't be.
Montana school searches for missing bison

My understanding is that they slaughter these animals right by the school, then immediately process them for lunches that day. That's cool. The rest of us are left guessing where our cafeteria meat comes from. And to really illustrate how rural Montana is, 130 bison can go missing and the town "has no idea where they're at." I'm guessing they've never had this problem in Manhattan.

Story: Father accused of stealing $65K from LA school PTA
I'm impressed this school was able to raise $65,000! It's too bad the majority probably goes to subsidize the cost of giving principals a raise in their salaries. Here's a lesson for the future...when raising thousands and thousands of dollars, either deposit into a bank account or get money orders made immediately. Don't trust one person (especially a non-school employee) to handle it all. Just a thought.

I am pretty sure this is how Jesus would have wanted it. In fact, isn't there a line in the Bible that says "Take your young disciplines and teach them my word by burning their skin with scolding hot irons." Apparently the line is blurry between teaching students Christian values and permanently branding them with images of the cross. Who would have thought?

Story: Gloucester Teens Had Pact To Get Pregnant
17 girls got pregnant at once. The superintendent responds by saying that the girls "lack a sense of direction." I guess it's a shame that their school couldn't provide that need. Otherwise their goal could have been to "Get accepted into a college together." On a related note, the boys involved all claim that they're exhausted, but it was worth it. Oh, except for the ones who will be fathers in a year. They're kind of second guessing their decision making skills.
Study Finds Little Benefit in New SAT
Smells Like: college , grades , idiocy , tests , USA
Laurence, quick question buddy. Why not just use the four years of high school grades? I guess you couldn't charge students $45 each -- and the students would save almost 4 hours of their time, not to mention the books, hours and hours of prep, and stress.
"The 3-hour, 45-minutes test is almost as good a predictor as four years of high school grades..." says Laurence Bunin, senior vice president of operations at the board, and general manager of the SAT program.
Let's just do away with these useless tests. Why do we need to predict how well kids will do anyway? If they want to go, let them experience it.

Here's the thing. Kids are busy cramming garbage into their heads, blowing lines of adderall, and having butt sex on the beaches of the "OC" (yes, this is the high school where many of those kids go). Meanwhile, Omar is out learning locksmithing, tactical surveillance, computer security, etc. I always find it hard to justify punishing these kids when they are so smart. Just give him a scholarship to MIT.

Since it was after graduation, the principal doesn't have to chalk this up to school violence. So they're off the hook. Instead, it becomes a city issue of teen violence. Maybe someday everyone can join minds and figure out how to prevent this from happening again.

You may remember DetentionSlip breaking this story back in February. She basically went nuts after she was asked to teach a different grade level. Well she's finally on trial after posting threatening notes and creating bomb scares around school. We can only hope that the judge doesn't have to change any dates of the trial, only to set her off again. But at least they'll already have their suspect when the words "DIE JUDGE" appear in the womens bathroom.

It's ok though, they provided TV screens to watch the ceremony on. What a way to thank parents for all their support over the years...by not allowing them to watch their son/daughter walk the isle on graduation day. The school also has future plans to make sure that relatives are prevented from attending weddings as well. And though the logistics aren't final, they also don't want any of their graduates or their families to witness the birth of their first born children.

When we allow video games to raise children into believing that there are no consequences to bullying, this is what happens. Teachers are even guilty of picking on kids, we all know that. And at a school of less than 300 students, EVERYONE knows when it's going on. Does this mean that not one person took it upon themselves to create a comfortable environment for this boy? Hmm, makes you think.

We welcome your letter of resignation Ms. Tauber.

The reason you don't find this article in the news: "Businessman Tasered During Drunk Driving Arrest" is because we need to hold teachers and school faculty to a certain expectation. And that is, we expect those who care for our children to act responsibly and set positive examples. Last I checked, drunk driving is NOT responsible. Oh, and neither is resisting arrest to the point of electrical shock. Someday, we'll get it right.

Story: Federal Judge Rules Fox News “Gullible” and “Unprofessional”
Basically, the paraphrased story is: A couple kids pulled a goof on a couple other kids during lunch. The incident was documented and handled by the school. Another kid put a story on a website to parody the situation. FoxNews then took it upon themselves to report the story, based on the satirical site, causing the town to be in an uproar.
So what I've gathered is, even if schools try to do the right thing, students still somehow pay the consequences. Oh, and never trust your news.

There's no better time for a school to flex it's muscle than right after handing a student his/her diploma. It's the one last time they get to rub it in the face of everyone that they suckered into following their rules for 12+ years. This time: No cheering at graduation. It's perfect! It really makes us feel special for dedicating so much time to an institution that has no problems seeing us get arrested for showing a little deserved emotion. Maybe those 30% or more students who never even graduate are on to something!

Isn't the idea of free press in tact so we can express ourselves without censorship. Hey guys, you're more than welcome to write for the team at DetentionSlip.

Kids don't just acquire naked pictures of their friends. Aren't people realizing that the only way children are getting these pics, is because little girls think it's cute and are willingly taking photos of themselves. It's not gonna do any good suspending anyone for sharing the pics. There needs to be some intervention that educates these girls about what they are actually getting themselves involved in.

If the word "irony" was on their diplomas, I'm guessing it would have been spelled wrong too. It makes you feel optimistic to know that the institutions that educate our children don't even have the sense to double check for errors like this. I would say that having "Education" spelled correctly is a pretty big deal. After all, that's what everyone is paying for.

Needless to say, he didn't get the girl.

It makes sense that we should discourage school spirit. Who wants to show pride in their school anyhow?
