Let me just dive right in to my rant; Has anyone else thought about how ridiculously over-reactive schools are nowadays? it is understandable to be more vigilant after recent events, but there comes a point when we are just inhibiting and punishing children's attempts to grow, experiment, and learn to adapt and react appropriately to their environment. I speak about this as lately i have seen that a child in Maryland was suspended for BITING A PASTRY INTO THE SHAPE OF A FIREARM, REALLY?! among other things kids lately have been suspended or warned about playing tag, and bringing a hello kitty toy gun that blows bubbles to school. Now the worst of these offenders would be a school in Florida that suspended two teenagers for several days, when they intervened in what could have been a lethal encounter on their school bus. Another student aimed a .22 caliber handgun at someone's head while on their school bus, and these two brave teenager tackled the suspect and disarmed him, possibly saving a life. The school system deemed it necessary to suspend them because it is their policy to apparently suspend anyone involved in a violent incident... reading such idiotic words gave me a head rush.
Rant over.
I'd like to hear my readers thoughts on this...
