"[He said] it's a knife on school grounds, and you have to be written up for it -- you ought to be glad we didn't have you arrested."
He ought to be glad it wasn't my daughter and I kicked his ass for threatenng her, jail or not.
Where the terminally stupid seem to congregate.
I am so glad I was able to choose the private schools for my children's education. Not a teacher among them!
A few years ago an "honors student" put a fake bomb in a locker that my daughter shared with two other students at Fayette County (Georgia) High School. She was hauled in to the school's office with the detectives, Principal, and County Children Service folks, but had the good sense to call me first. You talk about a chinese fire drill, they were all ducking under the table when I told the Chief Detective that I would rip the top of his head off and spit on his brains-as if the dumbass had any-if he accused my daughter one more time of having anything to do with it. He had told the girls they were going to go to jail for this, and they were scared silly. They had all those 10th grade girls crying and scared to death. The county superintendent got real involved when I called him and asked him how would he like to go to court to defend the actions of the clowns there! By the way, the "honor student" got three days suspension for what was a classic stupid mistake on his part. The school was evacuated, bomb squad called, everything!! It was really unbelieveable for him to get such light punishment.
