Meanwhile parents who attempt to impart discipline are subject to arrest.
A Palm Bay woman and her boyfriend were arrested Monday for child abuse after the couple went old school to punish their 8-year-old daughter for swearing. Next time your kid has a potty mouth, just give them some gum.

I remember once in elementary school my friend spent the entire recess with a bar of Ivory in his mouth for saying the word 'shit' when he lost a baseball card flip to me. I wonder if the time limit has expired to have Sister Vinzinni arrested?

Yeah, it's hilarious. No consequences are allowed at home, but the schools can have a zero tolerance policy.

totally agree...

Hey Holly, i agree, so would you want your child facing consequences especially that MAY effect his future or even view of school based on YOUR misunderstanding or would you rather you face the consequences and instead use the situation to help teach your child so maybe next time he says -- HEY MOM, i can't take that to school!! And gives you that geesh mom eyeroll thingy they seem to be born with.

If a rule this stupid is broken with my permission, give me the flack and leave the child alone.
How on earth anyone expects a 6 yr old to have the thought process that an eating utensil, the same things that are on his lunch tray or in his lunch box, are a violation of the rules is way beyond me.

And i would argue the point that it is even my misunderstanding, Angel. As a parent it certainly is my responsibility to read and understand the policy of the school...but would anyone (other than these bozo's on the school board) apply that policy to a freaking spoon?

When I was a kid we did not need metal detectors at the schools.

9-11 blunders, no one gets punished

War based on fake intel. no one gets punished.

bank collapses, no one gets punished.

Why would anyone want to follow any rule?

The war on terror is a fraud.

Take the knife, call the parents, and let them come pick it up, tell them to not let the kid bring it back again. Common sense. NOT kicking him out.

Wait a minute....I had easily 3 more jokes about this kid being a commie...some of them were actually funny.....
