What do standing on the wall, in-school and overnight suspension entail? I mean, I suspect the first is what it says on the tin, but I might be wrong and even if not I’m not sure what the point is. And I’m only familiar with one type of suspension, “don’t come into school for X days”.
At my school, discipline usually goes like this:
-Verbal warnings in class.
-Laps at recess
-Silent lunch
-Phone call home
-Office referral
-In-school suspension (you get a bunch of paperwork, including writing assignments about your transgression and what you could have done instead, and you do it in a quiet room where you sit all day long with little interaction)
-Out-of-school suspension
I didn’t say you said that. I was quite specific in how I worded it.
you challenged my point that the school was quoted with: "Why? Do you think that any article gives a full and complete quote of all that a subject said? "
I pointed out that the school was interviewed and your argument is that newspapers suck and then you apparently ignore the end result which was the reversal of the suspension. You’ve ignored the obvious and insist something more sinister is afoot without any evidence.
In short, you have no argument.
Again, if you think that a newspaper reporter includes verbatim quotes of everything that an interviewee says,rather than selectively editing in order to write an interesting story, you have a childlike naivete about the world that is in many ways enviable.
Knowing the truth and asserting it is not the same as saying “newspapers suck.”
/that’s a specious argument to make considering the school’s official position on the matter. You literally have nothing to base your opinion on except a vague ivory tower position of how newspapers operate. You’ve further poisoned your position with a strawman argument that verbatim quotes were not used and therefore selective editing ensued.
Were the lack of verbatim quotes from the school pertinent to the report the decision was reversed? Do you want to argue the accuracy of that too?

I hope there’s more to all these stories, or something is seriously wrong with school districts now. And they’re the ones in charge of educating our children :smack:
I love how the little six year old ruffian couldn’t possibly understand the simple commands directed to him because he’s only six but all of the other sensitive children should just grow up and stop being sensitive.
Apply your standards consistently, please.
