OMG They are all going crazy. Like a teen boy (or girl, for that matter) couldn’t flick some “projectile” all the way across the room with bare fingers. So the school followed their mindless zero tolerance policy, and suspended the teacher. What a bunch of nutcases!
Man, I’m just reminiscing about all the “dangerous” weapons we made out of just our school supplies alone.
Disassemble a bic pen, add spitballs or thumbtacks and we had a blowgun. A ruler, rubber band, and binder clip made a nice “rubber band gun”. Fold up a piece of paper just right, and you had an origami “throwing star”.
Heck, I even made a blackjack out of a sock and a few packs of “Now & Laters” one time.
