Parents Say Cell Phone Video Shows Teacher Choking Student

Story: Parents Say Cell Phone Video Shows Teacher Choking Student

In the teachers defense, the boy allegedly threw a ruler at him first. If it goes to court, he plans to plead that two wrongs do in fact make a right. I am sure there are proper way to restrain unruly children, but if I were to wager a bet, I don't think that pinning them against a table and waiting until they cry 'mercy' is one of them. Please let me know if I am off the mark.

Story: 70 Rochester students punished after senior prank

Basically everything with wheels rolled though the halls of this high school. The perps are not allowed back on school grounds, but can still attend graduation. Something tells me these seniors probably don't have much of an interest in going back to school anyways. Oh, and we heard there is videotape. So if someone sends a link to tips@detentionslip.org you can have your prank featured on this site!

Story: Iowa student gives classmates rat poison; all OK

Try some ketchup and mustard it helped us! According to the article, it is unclear why the student brought the rat poison to school. What we are confused about, is why seven classmates decided to eat the stuff?! Maybe it looked better than the cafeteria lunch that day.

Recession hits high school seniors' choices

Story: Recession hits high school seniors' choices

I stopped reading this article before I even got to the first sentence. The caption under the photo caught my attention when I read that this particular high school graduated 13 valedictorians this year. After doing some research, I learned that this is actually a growing trend in the US (one school in Florida actually has 18 valedictorians for 2009). Every definition I could find describes the valedictorian as a singular person who ranks first in their class and gives a commencement speech. Schools are now honoring anyone who receives straight A's in all four years with the title of "valedictorian." (Which also means a few minutes behind the mic for each) So maybe this is part of the problem. Giving all these seniors false hope that they are "the best" might actually set them up for failure when Harvard and Yale turn down their scholarship applications. #1 doesn't really mean that much when you're tied with over a dozen other people.

School bus driver balks at moving after incident

Story: School bus driver balks at moving after incident

After being hit by a thrown pencil, the driver decided to host her own stand-off by pulling over the bus, locking the doors, and waiting for over an hour for someone to fess up. If it went on any longer, she planned to ask the fire department to drive by and hose everyone down until she got answers. At some point, it's time to hang up the laces.

"Wanna make out?"

Story: Manvel teacher accused of working drunk, kissing student

Talk about going out in a blaze of glory. After deciding that teaching wasn't really for him, he figured that getting liquored up and trying to make a move on one of the students was a good note to leave on. What he neglected to factor in, was that not too many future employers are going to jump on a resume that includes public intoxication and assualt on a minor. Hindsight is 20/20.

Haircut sparks controversy at Staten Island middle school

Story: Haircut sparks controversy at Staten Island middle school

Most schools at least cover their butts by defining ridiculous hair style policies in their handbooks. This school has no such rule, but the boy with a "half-hair cut" was still sent home. It turns out the principal just gets really weird about symmetry, and it was driving him nuts to see this off-balanced boy in the hallways.

Story: Court says jury should decide lesbian coach's claim

Basically, it sounds like she was fired a while back when it was revealed she was a lesbian. Then, when Maine realized that being gay isn't really constitutionally grounds for termination, they dug up some hazing stories about the players walking through sheep poop. The real question is- did the team have a winning record?

Story: Minneapolis charter school director allegedly embezzled $1.38 million

"In the Ferrari or Jaguar switchin four lanes, with the top down screamin out- money ain't a thang."

He plans to plead not guilty, but the receipts to his house, car and strip club visits say otherwise. It should go without saying, but when over $1 million goes missing...the school is gonna suffer. I can see him weighing the two options: Let's see, do I want kids to get a decent education, or do I want to be filthy rich?

Story: Oklahoma City schools' seating mishap may force retaking of AP tests

384 students might have to retake a test because they didn't sit the right way around the tables. In the future, the state is also considering requiring students to sit with proper posture, hold pencils with only their right hands, ensure the classroom uses nothing above a 60 watt light bulb, and ensure that everyone ate a well-balanced breakfast. These are all very important factors that can affect test scores, and it is important to make rules to enforce them.

Story: Waianae High recalls yearbooks containing racial slur

A couple of students creatively spelled out the 'N-word' with some signs and landed a spot in the yearbook. "The photograph, with the racial N-word slur, was overlooked during a review of the publication, state education officials said." Great! Sounds like years of inbred racism has also been overlooked. Well, now the whole world can see the hate that these teens have. Let's just hope someone takes the steps to fix it.
