One of these days maybe I'll get it right?!
According to the story, the school does not have a "zero-tolerance" policy. The pumishment was determined by the school administrator's investigation of the incident.
Right or wrong, some thought was put into the decision.
A "bullpen" of 2, 3 or 4 people!
My first job, as an engineer for an aerospace company, got me a desk in a bullpen. My department had one of the smaller pens -- 50 desks in a large open area. Desks were placed side by side, if you were in the middle you had to squeeze past 4 others to get out to an aisle. The periphery of the bullpen consisted of "offices" for senior engineers that were really cubcles built of plywood.
The building was a coverted Corsair factory. The floor-to-wall windows, none near the bullpen, still had blackout paint from WW2 over them.
How'd it work out? Quite well, actually. Computing power came from a Sigma 9 mainframe. If you neded a terminal you headed to a lab. Most other design also occurred in a lab. The desk was a repository for mail & storage for books. Most of the day was spent in working in small groups in lab spaces. The bullpens were mostly deserted.
Ability to move across the globe quickly has led to the spreading of disease throughout the globe. Modern shipping allowed the spread of North American pests to Europe almost destroying the French wine industry. Air travel allows infected travellers to reach their destinations before symptoms are evident spreading the flu rapidly as well as more vicious diseases like hemoragic fever. Agressive brown tree snakes have spread to islands in the pacific that have never had snakes before by hitchhiking on aircraft & ships.
These are just the accidental cases. What does it do for the terrorists, "sex tourists", drug smugglers?

Works for software too -- do the simplest thing that might work, and just maybe the features will outnumber the bugs introduced!
