US: Boy "fires" imaginary bow and arrow during school. Gets suspended and now faces expulsion due to - Polidicks

That girl is such a narc she should be the one expelled for being a little bitch

[QUOTE=Bruhmis;43266549]are you actually an immigrant... or did they threaten to deport a kid who was born in U.S?[/QUOTE] I came to the U.S when I was 1 years old, they said they would deport my parents too if they couldnt deport me.

[QUOTE=Gatsby;43266577]I came to the U.S when I was 1 years old, they said they would deport my parents too if they couldnt deport me.[/QUOTE] Should've gone to my high school. You could be from Mexico, unable to speak any english and only Spanish, and take a Spanish class and have it count as your foreign language credit for an easier time of getting into college

[QUOTE=Gatsby;43266577]I came to the U.S when I was 1 years old, they said they would deport my parents too if they couldnt deport me.[/QUOTE] everything about that story sounds like an episode of southpark.

With all these "child suspended for pretending to have a weapon" stories, it goes to show what hypocrites these people are. The kids should get suspended for writing because whats to say they aren't writing suicide notes/death threats/ransom notes/etc? Suspended for even looking at a computer because knowing how to turn one on means you are a hacker/cyber terrorist. Suspended for walking because they can use that "experience" to evade authorities some day. Hell, even suspended for eating as food = weight gain = purposely becoming obese = lazy disability mooch.

Ban imagination

Jesus christ a kid got a warning for bringing a butter knife when I was in elementary and I thought that was asinine, this is just insane

I'm glad I'm out of school now because I most definitely would have gotten suspended nowadays. Back then I used to draw all kinds of crazy crap in classes. Guns, swords, Hitler comics, etc. I made one mural with a friend of a giant battle that was 12 pages wide and was loaded with gore and other obscenities. Funny thing is I still have all of that stuff in a folder somewhere. :v: The only time I ever got detention was when I "misused" a school computer by running a 3d modeling program from my flash drive to work on a school project. The stupid morons thought I was playing video games instead of doing school work. This was back when people in my backwards hick town didn't even know what a flash drive was so they automatically assumed I was hacking or something.

If you're in college, ask a professor that also teaches some gen ed classes about education majors.

Wait, what. In middle school for PE we had archery as one of the sections, the only thing watered down was the dull arrows(which still had metal tips). Nobody complained about it, even though there were more than a couple incidents involving the string scraping someones forearm due to bad form.

In my middle school we had a one week archery unit. What do they have to say about that?

They're getting up in arms - pun not intended - about imaginary threats. [I]Literally[/I] imaginary. I understand the kid and his friend getting in a little bit of trouble for 'disrupting class', but the rest is just absurd. One time in elementary school (one of the earlier grades, not like 4th or 5th), I was sitting at the lunch table and 'cleaning' my pockets by taking out all of the pocket lint and putting it on the table. Don't ask why, I don't even remember. One of the lunch workers came up to me, bent down to my level, and calmly said "Hey, you shouldn't do that, you could start a food fight and then you'd have to write a Plan." I thought that they meant that I was already in trouble, so I started crying.* Some other lunch worker saw me crying after half a minute or so and said "Aw, don't worry, you're not in trouble, we're sorry, here have a fruit roll-up." At which point I instantly cheered up and the other kids all got jealous. I swear I didn't plan that to happen, I really didn't. That was like, what, 15 years ago? [I]The signs were there. We should have seen it coming.[/I] *I mean, I was a complete crybaby as a kid, and would cry at the drop of a hat. Often I wouldn't even be sad at all, I would just start randomly crying. Not just as a young kid, either, this lasted a long time. The random crying stopped some time in late elementary / early middle school, but I was still really easy to upset up until just a few years ago. But that's not the point. Plus I did actually think I was in trouble. I don't know why I'm telling you this, I just feel like it.

We've shot bolt action small caliber rifles for grades in one of the classes in high school.

[QUOTE=Cmx;43266904]Where are you guys from? I never had archery.[/QUOTE] my school had an archery unit as well. i live in washington.

I read about this in the paper the other day. Absolutely ridiculous. Seriously, when I was in school, we had a fucking rifle club that practiced [I]inside[/I] the school. People are seriously turning into complete pussies.

[QUOTE=deadoon;43267161]Central Coast California.[/QUOTE] idk if it's a geographic thing anyways. archery is expensive. at my wal mart a single arrow [i]without[/i] a practice tip costs about a dollar. the tips are pretty expensive too i think. it doesn't sound like a lot of money but when you got several hundred kids shooting those arrows for an hour the dollars start to add up.

[quote=Cmx]Where are you guys from? I never had archery.[/quote] South east Wisconsin. The high school got a high ropes course last year. We also have a climbing wall in the smaller gym. Some major PE grant we got we've got all new equipment. Weigh room, Cardio room, lacrosse equipment... We're piloting a Computer Software Engineering course and they started a one to one technology initiative which gave 6-12 chromebooks and k-5 ipads.

Probably bought them in bulk, which drives the cost down a whole lot too.

[editline]22nd December 2013[/editline] i fuck around with archery because i got a cheapo compound bow so i know that the shit is expensive even if you don't do it seriously.

At first I laughed at the movie Idiocracy. But now everytime I watch it I start to cry. But don´t fear, next they are gonna kick kids out of school for forming guns with their hands [IMG]http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Hand-Gun-mr--bean-162745_600_400.jpg[/IMG]

Jesus, reading this makes me almost feel like a badass for always getting away with having a metal ruler at school, despite them being banned for being an /actual physical weapon/. Other kids would just break my plastic rulers otherwise, without exception.

I had an archery class last year and I've seen people with "pen knives" not even get acknowledged.
