Breaking wind at the bottom of South Fork High School incident

Story: Breaking wind at the bottom of South Fork High School incident

After being accused of farting in class, a 15-year old boy was punched in the side of the head. Wow. I guess passing gas is offensive to some people. Our research team is looking into it, but this might be the first fight that was ever started by flatulance. The cafeteria is holding off on serving Mexican food as a safety precaution until this matter is resolved.

Dallas ISD hall monitor held in road-rage case

Story: Dallas ISD hall monitor held in road-rage case

A Hall Monitor (not the one employed by DetentionSlip.org) from a Texas school takes "crazy ladies" into his own hands. His solution to a poor driver (with her children in the car): running their car off the road and pointing his pistol at them while yelling threats. I can only imagine how he treats children misbehaving inbetween class. I've got a hunch he has lost his cool at least once before, which doesn't make me feel better about the situation.

A picture of a beer can in the yearbook is rattling this high school. No one can figure out how it got there. More shockingly, the drinking age is 21- So how could a minor obtain a can of beer?! We are going to uncover every stone to help the yearbook editor solve this mystery.

Girl, 11, accused of making hit list

Story: Girl, 11, accused of making hit list

This girl got on a library computer and saved an excel document named "Killbook." One of her victims was a teacher who she wanted to kill "with a very, very, very, very, very sharp knife." In todays day and age, the sixth grader will be charged with making "terroristic threats." It used to be that when kids didn't have friends, they would make it through school flying under the radar and go on to lead lonely lives. Let's just take the easy route and blame video games again, right?

Lakeland honors student banned from graduation ceremony

Story: Lakeland honors student banned from graduation ceremony

The senior has had problems getting to his graduation rehearsals. And Rules are Rules. Because of his lack of commitment to rehearsing, he can kiss his ceremonies good bye. Hopefully he can watch from home on TV. Hey buddy, it's not that memorable, so don't lose sleep over it.

Fairfax High's prom queen is a guy

Story: Fairfax High's prom queen is a guy

It got a little weird when the prom queen and king danced, and they were both dudes. But good for this school that an openly gay teen can gain popularity and be accepted by the student body. Maybe California can send a tolerance memo to the schools in the deep south that still seperate black and white students for prom?

Students suspended after ‘mass’ flip-flop prank

Story: Area students suspended after ‘mass’ flip-flop prank

If only flip-flops were the only problem facing our schools. Any student caught breaking this dress code policy was slapped with a 2-day suspension. "Thirty Helens agree that sensible shoes make sense." Good thing this principal doesn't allow comfort in school.

Principal sits on roof to raise money for school

Story: Principal sits on roof to raise money for school

Was he planning on jumping if he didn't reach his goal? And isn't there some kind of risk management department in this school district? A roof can't be the safest place to host a fundraiser. It took Steve Martin's character from Roxanne to finally coax him down.

San Diego students spell '09' in desks, chairs

Story: San Diego students spell '09' in desks, chairs

This is great! Senior prank season is one of our favorite times of the year at DetentionSlip. Even though these students were caught, they managed to move almost 400 desks out on to the field and spell '09' with them. I would say from a furniture moving point of view, that's some pretty efficient muscle. Seniors- email us pictures and stories of your best school pranks to tips@detentionslip.org!

'F word' yearbook joke backfires at FWB High

Story: 'F word' yearbook joke backfires at FWB High

Students and parents are upset that they paid $95 for a yearbook that has the letters F-U-C-K in bold red letters spread across four photo captions. Sounds to me like this editor might be able to land a job at Disney with her subliminal messaging techniques. The school gave everyone awesome stickers to hide the offensive letters. I'll put money that there are more hidden words somewhere in those pages. And in about 6 months everyone is expected to get over this and actually see some creativity and humor in it.

Tis the season for teacher sex scandals

Story 1: Maine East teacher charged with having sex with former student

Story 2: Embattled band director had affair with another student: his current wife

Story 3: Teacher Accused Of Having Sex With Teen Resigns

They say things come in three's. These teachers certainly haven't done anything to dispell that myth. One is a repeat offender, another had a special fling at Disney World, and the third was caught with weed while having sex in the back of her Honda Pilot. Is this really why some people become teachers? If so, we really have our work cut out for us to reform education.
