As a parent, what bothers me is that the administration apparently made no attempt to contact the parents. This past year, my oldest was part of group of 3rd graders who were acting up on the playground during recess. They were threated with suspension if their behavoirs did not imporve as a last resort. No time during the process of being called into the principle's office (3 or 4 times) were my wife and I contacted.
I thought teaching and parenting were a partnership? Screw that. Teachers are underpaid, administrators are over paid. And parents are treated as children. That is the message sent out and the kids see this.
Had this been my kid and the school contacted me after the first inccident, the problem would have been solved to the benefit of child and the school district.

Gee, all I did was put the LAMB memory in the LION motherboard and POW.... it all went blewie.
Cause CNN ran it and by God, we cannot be out storied by another cable news company. If CNN ran it, it has to be true. CNN would never lie.
Besides, if you print something at least three times in three different sources, then it becomes fact.
We had this at o ne time. It was called mymp3.com.
Artists uploads mp3's of their work and had links to where to buy, news on the artist, etc. It worked great until they were bought up.
