The teachers were having a huge problem with the girls bringing their feminine hygiene products to class with them. I assume this new policy also includes handbags and fanny packs as well. It is good to see schools tackling the real issues.

Story: Boy suspended for using broken pencil sharpener
What is more dangerous? A gun or a pencil? A gun has to be concealed. A pencil can inflict major damage to vital organs, causing blindness, severe bleeding or death. Not to mention the damage a pencil can do when in the hands of a student no afraid to write..
From the article:
"We're always going to do something to make sure the child understands the seriousness of having something that could potentially harm another student.."Top 10 Things That could potentially harm another student:
- lose leaf paper (cuts)
- email viruses
- scissors
- hard candy (choking)
- iPods (deafness, choking)
- knuckles
- a banana peel
- mats in the wrestling room
- Hanna Montana t-shirts
- senseless policy enforced mindlessly
Boy suspended for using broken pencil sharpener
Smells Like: panic , safety , South Carolina , weird
FACT: Pencil sharpeners are allowed in schools. FACT: All pencil sharpeners have a blade in them. FACT: You cannot write with a broken pencil. THEORY: We are teaching kids that nothing they do is correct, and will face discipline for behaving as normal students. FACT: This could have been avoided by giving every student a laptop.
Two Women Accused of Kidnapping First Grader

Story: Two Women Accused of Kidnapping First Grader
They took the kid to prove a point how unsafe the schools are. Well, you made your case...there are plenty of nut-jobs like yourselves that are willing to kidnap kids from school property. The right thing to do would be bringing him to the front office, but instead they put themselves into a position to be facing criminal charges. But when it's all said and done, maybe they were on to something?
Student Suspended in Peanut Butter Bullying Case

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?
Girl raped after driver kicked her off school bus
Smells Like: bus , Illinois , law , safety , sex , summer school
This is how we handle discipline problems...by forcing kids to walk through rough neighborhoods by themselves. I am guessing these students will think twice now about acting up on the bus. I think it's about time we put bus drivers through a crash course(not literally) training about how to perform their jobs properly. I gonna assume the the protocal for disruptive behavior is NOT emptying the bus out when the driver becomes overwelmed.
High School lockers stuffed with dead animals
Smells Like: animals , California , pranks , weird
We're going to keep in eye on this school to see what sort of pranks they have up their sleeves all year. Although it does seem a bit grotesque to fill your lockers with decomposing cats and dogs. It was the smell that finally gave it away. It wasn't the swarms of flies or vultures that have been hanging out in the school hallways for over two weeks now.
Teacher gets 7 years for child porn possession

Story: Art teacher gets 7 years for child porn possession
Another one bites the dust. He only had 4,000 images and videos of kiddie porn at home...while he was working around children! After begging to be sent to juvenile detention, the judge thought it would be in everyone's best interest to expose him for the creep he is. And the students were always wondering why he encouraged nude sculpting in class?
'Snurf' Pills Sicken High School Students
Smells Like: drugs , health , nurse , Pennsylvania , safety
Next thing you know principals are going to want to ban halucenogenic pills from the schools. Evidently these boys bought the drugs online, got weirded out in class, puked everywhere, and now they are in the hospital. Maybe your English classroom isn't the best place to experiment with new drugs?
High School to use breathalyzers at dances
Smells Like: alcohol , Connecticut , dance , drunk , rights
School dances will be starting an hour earlier to accomodate for the long lines as they test every student for alcohol at the door. Easy, all you have to do is sneak the booze in and get drunk at the dance. They also plan on doing random tests during the school day. "If the student refuses to take the test, that's the same as failing the test and he'll be suspended for 10 days. " Seems like they are targeting the boys with that statement. Is this also their policy when a student refuses to take a math test?
Nude Motorist Stops Outside Elementary School

Story: Nude Motorist Stops Outside Elementary School
Hey, that's not my usual crossing guard! Everybody has seen a cute driver in the car next to you. Some people have gone so far as to wink or wave. This guy figured the best way to flatter one female was to follow her a couple blocks, hop out of his truck, drop his pants, and start masturbating in front of her...all while elementary school kids are present. So for the record, if anyone else has considered this, it's probably best to restrain ourselves to a wink.
PA Elementary School Confirms MRSA Case
Smells Like: health , nurse , panic , Pennsylvania , safety
Here's a couple of fun facts about this infectious bacterial disease: 1.) It kills more people that AIDS, and 2.) It is most common among prison inmates. This does not sound like something we need in the United States, let alone our schools. In short, if this problem doesn't get treated and we neglect to educate everyone about it, it'll start spreading...athletes first...and then we'll have more serious issues to face in education than teachers wages.
