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.
http://www.downrange.tv/forum/index.php?topic=6827.msg83317#msg83317Man, 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
