School bans 'boobies' breast cancer bracelets

Story: School bans controversial breast cancer bracelets

The principal feels that the students are too young to support a cause, so they are not allowed to raise awareness for breast cancer while in the school hallways. It's amazing how just about everything can be deemed a "distraction to the learning process."

Student crashes car through Shorecrest High School

Story: Student crashes car through Shorecrest High School

Some teens spend their Friday nights hanging out with their friends...others send their car crashing through the front doors of their school. What is most disturbing, is that the police file states the boy "did NOT appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol." I wonder how much your insurance rates go up after joy-riding through the hallways of a high school?

Spokane elementary schools switch to number grades

Story: Spokane elementary schools switch to number grades

Instead of A-B-C-D, these schools are now using 4-3-2-1. The woman who headed up this change wants to give parents a "clearer picture of where their child stands." Apparently the families in Spokane have been struggling for years to decipher the universal grading system of A's and B's. Of the pointless ideas I've heard, I'd rank this a 4.

Students protest surveillance of two girls kissing

It seems one of the best places to view some girl on girl action is from high school bathroom surveillance footage. I would just not be the best way to find out that your daughter is attracted to females. I am guessing that is a clip most parents don't want to watch. Leave it to the principal to be the bearer of this news. As you might suspect, there are some unhappy students right now.

Kindergarten Teacher Sends Bag of Poop Home With Student

Story: Kindergarten Student Sent Home With Bag of Feces And Note From The Teacher

So, the teacher finds a turd on the floor. She assumes it's from a student who had had some accidents before, and decides the best idea would be to wrap the little guy (the poop, not the pupil) in a paper towel, and send it home with the student.

From the mom:

"She found a clear plastic bag with a piece of fecal matter wrapped up in a brown paper towel with the note on it. This little turd was on the floor in my room. And that's all it says. Nothing else. If it was his did she see him do this? Did she follow him around to make sure this was his, did she see it drop out? Or just assume it was his because he had an accident a couple of months ago?"

Say Mrs. Graham, are you sure that little turd you found wasn't just what you've been passing off as your teaching credentials?

Here is a video from CNN:

Story: Edmonds schools forcing parents to pay for lunches

While some parents have been scamming the "free lunch" system for years, others actually need the assistance. The problem is, parents who do have money get too lazy and don't pay off their debts.

I am not sure how the parents are going to approach this one.

Story: Washington High School Student Suspended in Peanut Butter Bullying Case

Kill them with protein, that's what we always said. But seriously, if you haven't been around kids in a while then it is news to you that tons of them are somehow allergic to peanuts nowadays. So wiping peanut butter on a child with this allergy, is the equivalent to poisoning them with cyanide. Who would have thought lunch time can be the most dangerous place in schools?

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.
