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.)
Piper on the horizon. ...stop the fur beast, stop the fur beast, stop that fur beast now!
sorry.
Glad she’s been found. :)
Interesting. The on-line instructions are now 67 pages long, several of the suggestions I made yesterday have been incorporated. The missing sections are now there.
So they now owe you a translation fee...
They learn fast, and copy well.
These guys aren’t Chinese, they’re Arkansans.
Are you on 110v?
if you need a wiring hint, shout. :)
Arkansans,
new company then, I hope.
Sighted, not quite found. If they call again, we can find out where they are and Anoreth can go there.
The power supply has a clearly labeled 110/220V switch, and a big yellow sticker telling you to check and set it appropriately before use.
Nanook of the North on A Mission!
That’s good.
I enjoy making PSUs for equipment, I would hate to see one injured. :)
Well, I suspected as much. They have never forgotten that they are Egyptian gods.
[giggles!!!] You’re KIDDING, right?
You just did their job for them. You should get trouble shooting pay!
Nope. Bread on the waters, m’dear, bread on the waters...
Well, freep. It may be a false alarm. Sally took the call, and she’s not really sure what they said, when it comes down to it.
I sure hope that you get Piper back ASAP. If someone takes her,
I hope that they have the decency to have her checked for a chip.
Anoreth said the last time she was lost in NJ, she went into someone’s back yard to see some other dogs, and they called Animal Control. Maybe she’ll try that here. Of course, it’s Saturday tomorrow, so if she’s found by someone over the weekend they’ll just have hang on to her until Monday, unless they see our signs.
I’ve already made a couple of my own projects on that thing. Including a couple of Adafruit neopixel ring mounts for a set of Arduino goggles I’m doing.
Halloween costume. Digitigrade stilts, led eyes, voice changer, 10-12 yards of black fabric, and an old farm scythe.
Gonna scare the bejeezers out of some folk...
You’re not on the 3-D printer ping list because why again?
