Did they try asking him to pull his pants up? Who has the time though really? My first line of defense for a situation like this would be calling the police. It must be great to start your criminal record with: "wore pants too low in gym class."
Police get involved when middle school student bares too much
Smells Like: Alaska , dress code , law , policySchool refuses to admit deaf student's dog
Smells Like: New York , rights
If it was ever a question whether or not the administration is uniformed about certain handicaps, please consider this quote from the article, "[the student] arrived at the school Tuesday with his mother, twin sister, lawyer and Simba. They left after a brief conversation with at the door with Principal Timothy Voels, who had a sign-language interpreter with him."
I guess blind people need sign language interpreters now.
School custodian accused of raping two students

Story: Slidell school custodian accused of raping two students
Under the impression that his job responsibilities included mopping floors, emptying garbage cans, and raping boys in closets, this guy will soon realize what a broom handle really feels like as I am sure there are eager inmates at a state prison just drooling right now waiting for his arrival.
School detention leads to law suit
Smells Like: dress code , expression , guns , law , Pennsylvania , rights
Story: School detention leads to suit
We are OK with bringing Army and Marines recruiters to our public schools, but the second a student has his own idea to wear a shirt that supports the war, a detention slip is ordered. Seems kind of like upside-down logic.
High School Offers Homosexual Porn, Parents Complain
Smells Like: 1st amendment , GLBT , Illinois , parents , sex
There's actually some pretty dirty stuff in this book they're reading. There's a good way and a bad way to educate about homosexuality. I believe that bad way might include giving teenagers literature that graphically depicts gay men with AIDS having unprotected anal sex. And by the way, isn't the legal age to buy porn 18?
Elementary school panics the day after ammonia spill
Smells Like: health , Maryland , panic , safety
From the article..."The teacher called, and I thought she said 'pneumonia.' Then a neighbor called and said 'a-mmonia." Apparantly if there are pneumonia outbreaks, we let the students tough it out. But when ammonia is mentioned, more than half of the parents rushed to remove their kids from school. And the spill happened that day before, about a mile away. Anything to miss a day of work I guess.
Woman Accused Of Stealing $12,000 From Elementary School
Smells Like: law , Ohio , parents , theft
Aside from the jail time, she only had a $5000 fine. No problem. She can bang that out with a few false PTA fund-raising scams. And we wonder why schools face budget problems.
Cussing banned in California town
Smells Like: 1st amendment , California , policy
Some High School freshman started a "No Cussing Club" at school because he was tired of all the potty mouths around him. I mean, what the f*** is this s***? This town is gonna rally around some d*** 14-year old. I am not sure what the punishment will be is you cuss. I can only assume you will be sentenced to h***.
Student Kills Self in Front of 150 Classmates at Alabama High School
Smells Like: Alabama , guns , tragedy , violence
It's another said story, yes. But it's a shame that his only place to turn after robbing a Dairy Queen is putting a gun to himself. Isn't there any kind of counseling or guidance that could have stepped in to walk him through this one?
Dad arrested in high school invasion
Smells Like: Massachusetts , parents , safety , violence
This dad led a gang of adults into the cafeteria to beat up a student!! How do you explain this one to your boss? "I am going to need the afternoon off. I have to kick the shit out of some 16-year kid with some of my buddies." So much for fighting your own battles.
4-Year-Old Girl Drunk At School
Smells Like: alcohol , drunk , Oklahoma
A little whiskey is the cure for a lot of things. Sometimes you just need to take the edge off of a long night before. You know, something to even you out. Let's cut this girl some slack. (But I suppose we should come down on the parents for getting a 4 year old liquored up at 8:00 in the morning.)
Graffiti causes lockdown at Elementary School
Smells Like: Illinois , panic , vandalism
What could be the worst possible thing a 4th grader can write in the bathroom stalls? Do we really have to lock the school down and bring in security because 2 girl aren't getting along? I think it's become ingrained in kids that almost anything can get them out of taking tests now. Growing up we never stopped school unless we actually saw a fire. There was no such thing as "threats."
