Eyebrow Shaver = Deadly Weapon
« on: May 22, 2009, 04:12:08 PM »
PENN HILLS, Pa. – A Pittsburgh-area teenager has been suspended from middle school when a random search turned up an eyebrow shaver in her handbag. Officials at Linton Middle School in Penn Hills recommended at a Wednesday disciplinary hearing that 15-year-old be expelled for the rest of this year and 45 days next year.

The teen said she doesn't consider the eyebrow trimmer a weapon. She fears expulsion will hurt her chances of becoming a nurse-anesthetist. She's a Girl Scout and a member of the school's basketball team, choir and leadership team.

The school released a statement saying it has a standard disciplinary policy that addresses all students equally. The girl's mother said she doesn't believe her daughter has been given a chance.


When I read this it made me think of a thread from a few days ago.

Man, talk about extremes.  The school in Ohio wants to do absolutely nothing about a potentially dangerous situation and the school in PA... well what their doing is just absurd.  What was the worst that could happen, the girl commits an act of "mass grooming" and the school populace looks absolutely fabulous?   ::)  Give me a break!  I am so glad I don't have kids, so I don't have to put up with school system B.S.

I had to deal with a relatively minor aspect of our indoctrination camps high schools. I had to pull my son out of his Junior year and put him through a teen program to straighten him out. Thankfully, it worked.

When it came time to get him back to school, since he was 17, the "guidance" counselor had to make sure he was eligible to return (he missed most of one semester) and then took 15 minutes to figure out how much time he had lost. You guessed it - 15 minutes later she figured out he had missed a semester.

She made $95,000 a year 2 years before this happened.  >:(  >:(  >:(

High button shoes, watch fobs, ice boxes and common sense.  What do they all have in common?   They don't exist anymore!
