Too bad the science "teacher" didn't demand his science book... or are kids still allowed books?

I've always thought rubber was a form of protection, not a weapon. Huh.

Cripes, my classmates and I would've received life without possibility of parole for the stuff we did.

If the schools reacted like this in the 1960s-1970s, every male in my school would have been expelled.

I doubt this is the full story. I bet he actually LOOPED ONE END OVER HIS THUMB and PULLED IT BACK with the other hand while POINTING IT IN HER DIRECTION. Or, since he had it, he could have easily done that, which is almost as bad.

Hmm, now how does the song go...

Rubber Band man,

Wild as the Taliban,

Nine in my right,

.45 In my other hand...

Maybe she mistook the rubber band for a forty-five?

Unfortunatly, this is normal 7th grade behavior. What is wrong with the teachers and administrations in this country?

"Rojas said she was shocked to learn that her son was being punished for a Level 4 offense -- the highest Level at the school. Other violations that also receive level 4 punishment include arson, assault and battery, bomb threats and explosives, according to the Code of Student Conduct."

Gosh, what level of offense would it be if a kid says, "I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you..."?

Sigh.

I'm going to side with the teacher on this one, simply because the kid is at that age where they think they can get away with anything.
Heck, 7th Grade???
I bet he actually shot the rubber band and stung her butt.
Now the little weasel is lying to get momma to protect her little "angel".

Nope, seen this TOO many times before.
Gotta nip it in the bud.

Yep. We probably woule have been arrested for arson given the tricks we did with bunsen burners and homecooked gunpowder in the chem lab.

I'd kind of like to teach as a second career...but after the stuff I did, I'd never be able to be around a bunch of ~17 year olds in a chem lab without being sedated :)

Gomez said when his science teacher demanded the rubber band, the student said he tossed it on her desk.

Shot it at her more likely. Ten days suspension seems most appropriate if that is the case.
