Maybe they should also suspend all those "seem-like" educators.

Now that we have a National ID system, what we need to do is link this incident to the girl's Social Security number via her school records, so she'll never be able to get a job or a driver's license for the rest of her life. Then we'll be safe from her.

The year was 1981...At our school we had a 25 metre swimming pool. An end-of-year prank organised by some enterprising final year students was as follows. The group of ten, who were all boarders, bought hundreds of packets of powdered red jelly-crystals (aka Jello in the US)and surreptitiously emptied the contents into the pool at night. The next day the whole school could see that the poll had been transformed into one giant red blob. The Criminal Congealers were caught red handed, when a few empty containers of the stuff was found under the bed of one of the criminal masterminds.

So because of Jello, they were banned from the school

Whoa there! Surely it would have taken several 55-gal drums of the crystals to transform an entire pool into jello. I'm taking your story with a 2 1/2 lb bag of salt, thank you very much.

How about TEACHING students so that they may be productive members of society instead of getting their knickers into a twist over the "appearance" of Jell-O.

Because the government school system wants our kids to grow up being afraid of everything and dependent on the government for all of their needs. They want to hear shrieks of horror at the mention of guns and/or Christians.

Sorry, it must have been thousands of packets then. The pool was definitely "Blob-Like" ! There were hundreds of other witnesses to the crime of congealment. Our school's final year students specialized in mega-pranks. By 1985 the one-upmanship from year to year had progressed to a point that security guards were employed all around the school at night to thwart any mega-pranks.

P.S. The boarders had plenty of spare cash being the sons of wealthy farmers from the country.

yeah, yeah, they were just afraid the alcohol would interfere with her school-prescribed Ritalin.

I say let her have the jello shots instead!

I heard a story in college about a guy who worked in the cafeteria.

He had an ongoing feud with a former friend.

So the "hero" of this story stole an industrial size container of lime jello from teh cafeteria, and used a blow-dryer to force the powder under his rival's door.

THEN he ran a hose from the communal bathroom down the hall, and ran galons of water under teh door to the room.

Apaprently it took hours to clean up the resulting green slime.


I don't know if the guy got expelled or not.

Wow, that's more asinine than the time they suspended the honors student for having a case knife. ><

Excuse me? She was suspended because they looked like Jello shots?

I guess, based on this, we need to change our judicial system so people are punished based on what it looked like they did instead of what they actually did.

Liberals playing big brother yet again. Someone want to start cataloging these instances somewhere. I know it's useless as proof; but, it helps remind us of the truth anyway.

"I guess the three day suspension from school for the eight year old is better than Mum losing her kid to social services, because the eight year old took Mum's party vodka jelly shots out of the fridge as a joke."

Read it again. They were NOT vodka jelly shots. They were alcohol free. The school is freaking out because they 'looked' like vodka jelly shots.

The mother MADE the jello for her to take to school and sell as snacks to make a few extra bucks for christmas gifts. Just like the kids selling chocolate candies to raise money for the band.

If they WERE vodka jelly shots, the school would have been showing their test results and not disciplining her for bringing a 'drug look alike'.

"Undergo counciling?

They don't even admit it had alcohol. Unless there is some sort of Jell-O counciling that's new in schools. The way the government spends money on schools, I wouldn't be surprised if there was."

That's because they didn't have alcohol.

"What about all the look-alike vodka coming out of the water fountains?"

Not to mention all those look alike shoe bombs.

CORRECT !!! LOOKED LIKE.

"I guess, based on this, we need to change our judicial system so people are punished based on what it looked like they did instead of what they actually did."

THEY ARE WORKING ON IT.
