Story: Girl suspended for bringing peppermint oil to school
We are not sure if she was starting her own "Fresh Breath Club," or just raided her moms medicine cabinet, but what message are we teaching a 10-year old when she is immediately suspended for such an innocent behavior? Sometimes kids just need explained to them what they did wrong, rather than coming down with an iron fist of zero tolerance. I'm surprised the girl even knew what it was...isn't peppermint oil an old ointment from ancient cultures?
