Boy Suspended for Pointing Finger Like Gun
Newser ^ | 3/4/14 | Kate Seamons

Posted on 03/04/2014 8:26:45 AM PST by Impala64ssa

America's kids have been suspended for pretending that pencils were guns, but an Ohio school may have topped that. A 10-year-old student at a Columbus elementary school was handed a three-day suspension for making a finger gun and pretending to shoot a classmate. The suspension letter more formally referred to his weapon as a "level 2 lookalike firearm," reports the Columbus Dispatch. Devonshire Alternative Elementary School's principal says students have been frequently told not to play pretend gun games, with a district rep saying kids were warned consequences would follow.

Those consequences hit hard last week for fifth-grader Nathan Entingh, who says he was "just playing around"; the rep said Nathan pretended to shoot another student "kind of execution style" in the head. And the "victim" didn't even see the mock execution, which was instead spotted by a teacher. Nathan's dad seems dumbfounded: "It would even make more sense maybe if he brought a plastic gun that looked like a real gun or something, but it was his finger." (Almost exactly a year ago, a Georgia teacher was suspended over a finger gun of his own.)

Thanks Guys. Great ideas, all.

I didn’t butter the non-stick pan. (Why should one need to butter a non-stick pan?)

It was my first try. The peanut butter layer needed more milk than they suggested, but it might have been because the butter was still too cold.

If you have had the non-stick pan very long, and have used it with any regularity, you need to spray that puppy!!

I don’t trust any “non-stick” bakeware. If it were truly “non-stick,” it would be that way for the life of the item. So once something sticks to a “non-stick” item, I grease it every time I use it.

Non-stick pan: Requires buttering to not stick.

The pans are almost new.

Yes, Megafail! To be fair, I made a few mistakes which I will learn from for next time.

Yeesh.
Still, it’s supposed to be “non-stick” for a reason.
“Non-stick, y u no work?”

Mom had a no-stick pan that kinda baked the no-stick right off.

Pan works better cooking eggs with just butter.
