School district? What happened to school principals saying, “no candy in class.”? Follow the rules or pay the price. Lord, I’m glad I’m not in the school system today!

Seems like the principal could have handled it with a warning. However, there is so much second guessing today due to our litigation crazy society, every one wants the next higher level to make a decision. Maybe that is why the district office made their heavy handed decision.

Teachers have long had giant mail order containers of candy to hand out to kids every day. You hand in your homework, you get a piece of candy. You don’t stab anyone during class, you get a piece of candy. You stay awake, piece of candy. By the time 3:30 rolls around, everyone is on a sugar high.

Teacher even sell candy. Big lollipops (50 cents) and the dreaded pop tarts ($1) were the most popular when our kids were in school a half dozen years ago. Students would be lined up down the hall during morning break to buy their sugar fixes.

The students had the soda market because it wasn’t seemly for teachers to sell those when the principal took out the coke machines.
