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.)
Political goalposts are mounted on casters.
Politicians have a track record of kicking the troops in the nads.
The unbalanced rules of engagement will be reviewed by the top brass.
If they have any sense they will take action against certain politicians.
Firing squad?
That would be the proper course of action and remedy.
But it won’t happen.
Not much chance of that, but life in Colchester comes to mind.
Nothing will happen ,just the usual “lessons learned” bs that trips of the lying b@st@rds tongues like water from a tap.
Good morning. Things aren’t bad here, considering the teenage-boy invasion. I threw away some cream-soda bottles and put plates in the dishwasher when I got downstairs, but other than that, the kitchen isn’t bad. They woke me up once, around 11:30: one boy’s laugh sounded like Frank crying.
I heard the fan on from Tom’s room, but I don’t know where the others are sleeping.
Yep...That looks like the California Cheese commercials ... Adverts....
Windy. 58 degrees.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!
Happy Mother’s Day to you! 70s here, but will be hot later.
I’m fixing up some Spanish music pages, and then I need to go to Walmart.
Even though I’ve had a shower, and thought I was awake, I read, “I’m fixing up some spinach mucilage...” I’m sorry, TC...I really burgled that one...
Well, given my diet, it wasn’t totally unreasonable!
Maybe that’s why, eh?
The wind blew so hard last night it blew the gate open, so I had to put a brick against it. It wasn’t blowing much when I got up, but it sure is howling now. *sheesh*
Maybe, when I get back from breakfast with my daughter and her hubby, I will make some ice cream. The tub is in the freezer, so the rest of the work is downhill.
I hope you have a great breakfast. I’m going to Walmart with James and Kathleen, and then it will be lunchtime.
Me too. But hey...you shouldn't be monkeying around with loaded fingers right? But then, Hollywood says it's ok.
Oh, good heavens! I laughed so hard my head hurt! Thank you and Happy Mother’s Day to you!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, Y’ALL! And Happy Mother’s Day to the maternal units contiguous to all concerned male undead persons!
Post 5602 sounds good to me. I’ve been listening to “Winter of the World” by Ken Follett and launched into a hissy fit/rant about how rules of engagement shouldn’t be formulated by people who have no qualifications for being commander in chief (among other things).
Like,
Want,
Need,
A John Deer trike......oh yes!
I understand today is your Mothers-day, so have a Happy Mother’s Day ,Ladies.
You want the Walmartians included in that??
