Education Idiots

What is with the people in charge of education being stupid these days?  You would think they would be a lot happier with students NOT vandalizing the school or getting someone hurt... I guess that's not the case.

One I heard this morning was about a couple dozen students in Michigan deciding to ride their bikes to school that last day of classes.  The principal freaked out and suspended them. Also threatened to not let the seniors walk next week for graduation.  You can read the story here and I believe there is a link to the same page, but you can click here or here for that.

The other was in Indiana and is about 5 students, a janitor and some sticky notes. The link to that story is here.  The seniors put up sticky notes around the school to "decorate" the hallways.  Some of their artwork is displayed with the story (the link I have above).  The janitor was fired and the students were suspended. I just have to say that at least they didn't use spray paint! Maybe they should've. The punishment might not have been so severe...? *roll my eyes*

There was another where a little 4 year old girl was not allowed to take part in school photos because her hair was "against school policy."  The link to that is here. She has her hair shaped into a bow, but the school in the UK says that braids are against the school's policy.

Any other "boners" you and your's have heard about lately?  Let me know!

Hi, Meagan--good to see you here. I'm glad I'm old and don't have to go to these strange schools w/stange rules. Have a nice weekend and come see us. Bet Cameron is excited about his mission call. My neighbor lived in the San Jose area and she said it is great country down there. What are you doing fun this summer? Love you lots--grandmother
