Suspend the teacher.
So how dose a "in-school suspension" work. You go to school and skip class?
These "zero-tolerance" rules would be more aptly named "zero-intelligence" rules. They are made for idiot bureaucrats who aren't bright enough to asses a situation and determine a proper course of action on there own, hence the prevalence of such rules in the world of education.
But this had to do with the Revolution (amazing enough that they were studying it at all, rather than teaching the kids that whales are as smart as humans). We didn't win the war by throwing Birkenstocks at the Brits...
Insanity ping...
How about the superintendent and principal-these nitwits are responsible for overseeing the education of children?? Oy vay, they are not even fit to manage a fast-food joint!
I wonder what they'd do with the teachers in my kids school who bring in firecrackers?
They lock you up in a little room with some hideous gorgon-like creature to watch over you. You're not allowed to speak. In fact, the only thing you're allowed to do is homework.
In-school suspension is usually doled out when detention is deemed too lenient and out-of-school suspension too harsh. However, when I found out I was getting in-school suspension, I would usually do something bad enough to bump my punishment up to out of school suspension, which in actuality is much easier.
Your point is well taken and agreed with. I'm not sure that the objects to be used for the reenactment should be brought in from outside however.
Hmmm ...... firecrackers and frog's asses ... I vaguely remember ....
Understand that bureaucrats in general, and school administrators specifically, make "zero-tolerance" rules to free themselves from making decisions. Of course, they are paid to make decisions based on their experience, but they don't want to. So, they make "zero-tolerance" rules so that all decisions are pre-made, and they can never be accused of making the wrong decisions. In short, they are cowards.
It's in the back of their little pea brains, that if we hadn't revolted, today we'd be gun-free, socialist soccer-playing dhimmis, with a National Health Service;)
This teacher should have told administration and cleared it beforehand...common sense should prevail.
If you ask me, all of this is just a subtle attempt by the leftist loonies to circumvent the second amendment.

Bingo!
I have to fall on the side of the school here. Neither of my sons have any right to bring a threatening object onto school property. I've done far more than my share of mischief. I know who/what/where/when/why it happens. I'm not trying to start an argument here but do you approve of students bringing fake knives into class to stab each other with?
