I don't give a rats ass if its a Law or a policy. The fact that those in charge cannot actually look at the situation and make a determination of appropriate action is SCHTU-PIT.

Yeah, but you sure were ready to hop right on the Biden-fault Express.

But run away from that point now, by telling us what we already know.

Oh right and the Vice president of the friggin US has what to do with school policy in DE? Come on shaw. I've met Joe Biden a number of times - years ago. He's a nice enough guy and a local from this area. He had as much to do with this policy as you or I. Now stop it! or else I submit that your crown be rescinded from the strawberry festival!

And I didn't realize your were kidding. In fact I didn't realize you had a sense of humor at all. :p

Dude, I really thought from the "tone" of your post you were serious. You didn't come right out and say it was his fault, you said it as if you weren't sure. I do usually catch your sense of humor.

OK fine...no more Biden jokes.

No, 'cause I eventually let go.

My son was 7 when he took his first knife to school. Memories...

seriously though, he WAS 7 and he took his grandfather's little swiss army knife to school - as 7 year-olds are won't to do. He got a 10 suspension with an expulsion hearing. this was back in, oh, '98.

He served the 10 days happy as a clam, loved every minute of it and taunted his cousins with, "Have fun in school, SUCKERS!" every morning.

He always enjoyed speech therapy class, too. Got him out of regular class. I think he purposely prolonged his lazy R's just so he could go to therapy.

What!?!?! it's not Bush's fault? Hell! When did we change dance partners?

I was kind of use to blaming Bush for everything. Now I have to switch. Bastards.

Just saw on the news that the school board caved and changed the policy for 1st graders and kindergarteners to a case by case basis. Kid can go back to school.

Yeah, he's already served his 5 day suspension and will be "counseled" on the seriousness of his crime, but no reform school. He can go back tomorrow, but his mom says she'll keep him home a day or two longer. Now they'll probably punish him for missing more time.

It'll be ironic if he comes back and stabs someone.
